Yes, of course socializing is fun. But when it comes to housing accommodations for travel, I'm surprised so many people view that as being a perk of Airbnb over the hotels. Or maybe everybody else just accepts it not as a bonus, but as a neutral affect of the system and the value of Airbnb is in the location and the style.
Or maybe I'm just an outlier here. It wouldn't be the first time I didn't quite click with a large B2C company's product (cc facebook, instagram).
- munificent 4y agoI mean, this was part of the original value proposition of Airbnb. It's right there in the name: They were trying to replicate some of the personalized experience you get from staying at a bed and breakfast. B&B's definitely aren't for everyone—you get a little less privacy and personal space. But in return you get to interact with someone new and feel a little more embedded in the local culture.
