I get it. But how many people travel long-term every year? I usually get 4 weeks and split that between 2-3 locations, both in and out of the country. And I don't necessarily want to cook a lot on vacation (I guess I am not alone?), so the kitchen argument doesn't really work for me. But I guess I'm not the ideal customer for Airbnb. It's just that recently, almost all the feedback I get from people using Airbnbs is negative. Maybe Airbnb has just become something of a cultural phenomenon, so it will continue to exist because of that and for serving a narrow base of medium- to high-income people who travel for long stays and want a home during their trips for various reasons.

For me I only hear great things. I never Airbnb'd in the US but literally everywhere else and I personally just had amazing experiences. If a country doesn't seem to have good Airbnb options, booking.com can provide similar-ish experiences (kitchen + homey vibes). And if I had kids, I think Airbnb/homestay would make even more sense to me than hotels. Together with that, I really don't like having to "fight off" cleaners wanting to clean my room every single day. Even putting up the do not disturb sign doesn't always work.
