in my experience, AirBnB expanded way past fun/unique travel experiences and into direct competition with hotels. Except shittier and way more expensive. I started refusing to use airbnbs for business travel. Hotels: way cheaper, particularly once you count the cleaning fee airbnb charges; standard amenities; no figuring out how to get in or get keys, you just show up at the desk; reliably have an iron; reliably have spare toiletries if you forget a toothbrush or toothpaste; reliably deliver what they advertise (instead of oh, the AC "works", but don't touch the thermostat or you'll break it and we'll fine you and btw it's set at 76F in Austin), etc. anecdote, but I know others with the same experience
