Stayed in a really nice place many years ago. Went off the airbnb platform...harder to do now...bargained the rate and paid cash for a few months. Never saw the owner except near the end when he was showing the place to prospective new tenants. Prefer an anonymous hotel room with nice front desk people and a hotel manager who is ok with adjusting to a lower rate. Honestly. I dont want to see the owner. They're amateurs. At most hotels if something goes bad i can easily change rooms...usually an upgrade...
