I don’t want to stay in a hotel because I usually travel with my family and I want to have a home-like experience with a real kitchen where we can cook and eat meals together. I alternate between AirBnB and VRBO when looking for accommodations.
Also, this article is not about whether AirBnB can work in general... it’s a billion-dollar company over a decade old. Whether you like it or not, it’s silly to act like the idea has yet to be proven.
The article is about how they pivoted their homepage to add value to their product during a crisis. I would think that topic would be very interesting to the HN audience. They are certainly acting more agile than a hotel chain; I don’t see Marriott offering online “host experiences” to their guests.
