As someone who's spent a significant amount of time staying in AirBnBs and other transient living, renting month-to-month on AirBnB is a terrible idea unless you're fine paying 2-3x more while AirBnB takes the difference. Also if you show up to the property and aren't satisfied with something (eg. WiFi doesn't work), or need to modify your booked dates, it is extremely difficult to get a refund because AirBnB's customer service is awful (to be fair I last had to deal with them in 2017, so maybe things have improved since then).
The smarter move is to book a 2-3 days and work out a deal with the host.
The current property I'm staying in I originally found on AirBnB for twice the price at which I'm currently paying. And I have the peace of mind of not being locked in to a place for weeks/months in advance since I don't know how long I'll stay here.
