I really don't get this. If you're vacationing there's no way you'll feel anywhere near a "sense of being a resident". It's vacations, you're a tourist, there's nothing wrong with that. I don't get what about the "experience" of a regular Airbnb is better than staying at a decent hotel.
Of course this does not apply to exotic Airbnbs.

- joyeuse6701 4y agoTrue, this very much may the common experience of the community I stayed in, but it was not advertised as such, nor was it priced that way either.
