When I travel for more than a couple of days I like to have a kitchen and a separate bedroom (especially if with friends or a couple), and it's often expensive to find a hotel with this, or impossible in a smaller town. Plus, some homes are just wonderful experiences: I've stayed on boats, hammocks, tiny guest rooms in the mountains I wouldn't have found otherwise, met people who are now my life-long friends .. - I don't mind AirBnB operating but I wish it was regulated that you can be permanently renting out a home you don't live in. I've seen too many cities lose beds for the locals.
