I used to enjoy using airbnb, it was normally good value but slightly less convenient than a hotel because you’d have to arrange a meeting time to get keys. Now, it seems to be mainly listing what are essentially unlicensed hotels with rooms spread across an area. Half the time I’ve used it recently I go to the address I was sent, only to realize I’ve missed a message telling me to go to a different address 15 blocks away to obtain the key from a lockbox. Plus I’ve found they make it difficult to see a map view in some places. Now I only use Airbnb for renting entire houses (eg for a ski trip). And even for that, I check booking.com first
