The problem is you are comparing the best to the worst when in reality it is rarely that. Hastily converted spaces with subpar equipment, dirty when you arrive but you are required to clean, and pay a large fee for the perk. And there seem to be far more horror stories in this thread than people suggesting that Airbnb is a better experience. So I would suggest those unhappy with the experience not repeat it, and look into the variety of offering of other rentals offer.
