I cannot understand the high appeal of AirBNB. It is obviously quite popular but it doesn't seem useful for much more than certain niches. My major gripe is that if I want to stay somewhere that has a high number of reviews and a superhost the cost per night from my experience is comparable to a mid-low end hotel (e.g Holiday Inn Express). Otherwise I'm stuck rolling the dice on a newly listed property with very little assurances of safety and cleanliness. I also feel like in someone else's home I have an obligation to walk on egg shells and treat their home much better than I would a hotel. I've spilled wine in a hotel or created other damage and I've never been fined for it. At an AirBNB this would be an issue I would fret over.
