Having used many of both hotels and airbnbs (or vrbo these days) I don't understand why anyone would ever prefer a hotel given any choice. I mean if I were to guess at a reason it would not be flattering, like people who actually like cruises.
And I also do not understand the appeal of the Kardashians, and so that was a strange thing to try to equate.
- ghaff 3y agoBecause when I'm traveling in a lot of cities I value predictability over a potentially better (or worse) experience. My lodging isn't usually the experience I'm going for. It's something about the location. So I often book the lodging that provides me with a decent place to stay without unpredictable downsides. (I've used AirBnB--rarely--but generally go for boring business-class hotels.)
- brandall10 3y agoIMO there's appeal to both. I just got back from Europe for the summer. About half the places I stayed were AirBnbs, the other times hotels or shared living communities (ie. Outsite in Lisbon, CityHub Amsterdam). In some cases the AirBnbs got me a much better location at a reasonable price. Vienna and Paris in particular. But then places like Prague and Berlin had more reasonable and central options w/ hotels (both 25 hours Bikini Berlin and Numa Prague were incredible experiences).
