My only issue with AirBnB is skirting around safety standards. Hotels have to follow a majority different set of construction and safety standards for fire, pollution, etc than residential (for good reason).
- stevenalowe 5y agoAre those reasons not related to the number of guests? How is home safety “worse” than hotel?
- paulryanrogers 5y agoMy guess is that homes have familiarity and owners and long term renters know what they're getting into. I've stayed at an AirBnB which was so heavily divided it probably would've been illegal in the US. (Long, dark, narrow hallways; sudden unmarked steps; no fire alarms; shoddy and confusing locks.)
