Amen.
Anecdotally, I have mostly stopped using AirBnB because I find hotels to be better now for most situations.
AirBnB hosts who fit the original archetype, people who are renting out their own homes for some extra money, tend to be great. But the ones who use it as a source of real estate revenue tend to be awful.

- theironhammer 3y agoYup, turning home into hotels should never have been allowed. Homes are for people not profit machines. Renting out a room in a place u live in is all AirBnB should've been for.
