How they get over? Saving a bunch of $ helps.
- Spooky23 8y agoEvery time I’ve looked at an AirBnb the prices are the same or higher than a hotel or real bnb unless you compromise on location or sketch factor.
- kenrose 8y agoI've noticed prices between hotels and Airbnb are closer. I think part of this is cities have caught on and are either charging fees (like SF) or are enforcing more regulations, which limits supply. In the past (2014/2015), AirBNBs were generally 30% cheaper than hotels and provided better amenities (like a kitchen).
- pishpash 8y agoIt's the same NIMBYism and real-estate-related corruption ring in many large cities that should be upended. If they don't even care about reasonble-cost housing for their own residents, even less so will they care about reasonable-cost lodging for guests.
- pishpash 8y ago"Compromise" on location? Some locations are zoned so they have no hotels/Airbnb at all, so if you want to be in a convenient place, especially without a car, you can only get Airbnb. If you add up all the costs of a trip, you absolutely save money.
- ves 8y agoCan’t use rewards points on Airbnb in the same way as hotels, though.
