I met one once. Because he was renting out the bottom floor of his townhouse in DC, so he was on site anyway. Nice place, mostly, with rave reviews. Complimentary candy, soda, and even beer when we arrived (late at night after a long flight, so the snacks were very welcome. But holy crap the bed was awful. Hard as a rock, firmest mattress I've ever tried to sleep on. Ended up sleeping on the couch. And the power kept failing each day we were there, though that seemed to be a neighborhood thing, not specific to his apartment. Just bad luck. I'm back to hotels because that was the closest I came to having the quintessential perfect AirBnB experience. Any halfway decent hotel has better service, better beds, better climate control, better everything pretty much.

> quintessential perfect AirBnB experience. I don't think its the luxury you are defining it by. Its a room in somones house that comes with its pros and cons.

  Not sure if you’ve never used it, but a vast number of AirBnBs are entire home/apartment rentals.

    right. I was talking about the 'quintessential' part. Entire apartments isn't quintessential airbnb, atleast for me, I've been using regularly for over a decade. Op was also talking about airbnbing someones floor in a condo not 'entire apartment'. Not sure if you read the post properly.

      It’s about meeting hosts, not sure if you read the posts properly, or what the point of the needless snark is
