For what it’s worth, I’ve used Airbnb around 60 times and found it a much better experience than a hotel 9/10 times. Even putting aside amenities such as kitchen and washer/dryer access, hotels always feel like unnerving liminal spaces to me. Very few hotels I’ve stayed at have felt “homey,” which puts a significant psychological damper on my trip.
- ghaff 3y agoI guess I don't expect a short-term rental in an urban locale (especially) to be "homey." I'm looking for well-located, clean, and comfortable (enough). There are some brands that I find more welcoming than others but, in general, I'm not really looking for the hotel to be an important part of my experience with some exceptions.
