You can do rentals, there are non-Airbnb rentals everywhere for periods of "months".
> It does not take AirBnB to have problems with other parties within an apartment block.
No but AirBnB exacerbates that - and adds a host of other problems too.
> But one of the things the we value as digital nomads is living as the locals live (or as close as possible).
But you're not, not really. Come on. Not in "weeks up to months", you need "months up to years" for that.

(FWIW, I didn't).
- vertis 6y agoI agree with a lot of your points, AirBnB has just made it much more accessible (they're not alone just the point) Regarding living like the locals live, of course it's not exact. For example, knowing the language matter a lot, but it's a very different experience to staying in a Hotel in the middle of the old town. Many cities that get rave tourist reviews are not near as nice if you don't stay in the tourist quarter (for example).
