This is purely anecdotical. Short-term rentals exist mostly because of high hotel prices (well, and poor hotel service - but that is already covered by the high price, as 'high price' is a term relative to the quality of goods). I always check prices on hotels and airbnb, and I mostly book airbnb. Because it is cheaper (even with fees and everything).
