Honestly I think those requirements are perfectly reasonable for the originally intended purpose of the site, which is people renting out their personal homes.

Honestly I think those requirements are perfectly reasonable for the originally intended purpose of the site, which is people renting out their personal homes. I have stayed in several Airbnbs that had the owner's clothes in the closet and pictures of their kids on the wall, and in those situations, it just seems rude to leave dirty dishes in the sink. These places aren't hotels.
I agree that doing laundry is a bit onerous in clearly dedicated rentals, but in my experience those tend to have fewer requirements and tend to not care if you miss a couple steps unless you trash the place.
- notyourwork 3y agoThose types of Airbnb's are long gone, now its entirely commercial.
- kube-system 3y agoThey are not gone, I book them all the time. They're hard to find, but they exist.
- archagon 3y agoHow are they even hard to find? They’re one of the three top level filter options.
- kube-system 3y agoThat's not really what I'm talking about. Yes, the "room in someone's home" is a subset of "people's personal homes", but some of my best Airbnb experiences were entire homes that were someone's personal home (or duplex style arrangements), that were being rented out on a temporary basis. There is no filter for this.
- jupp0r 3y agoThat's all fine. The $200 cleaning fee on top of that isn't. The $200 cleaning crew will do the dishes no problem.
- kube-system 3y agoDepends on the size of the property.
