It's a weird flex for a time when airbnb and vrbo have options all over the place.

  With hotels you're playing the lottery but there is generally a baseline consistent with the brand of the hotel. With those two you're also playing the lottery but there is no baseline. With a hotel, you're also generally paying when you check-in and can thus refuse a subpar room and argue with a real, mostly-reasonable person. With those two, you get charged before you even enter the place and any arguments will be with a bot or a call center drone in a third-world country pretending to be one.

    > there is generally a baseline consistent Not having a bathroom with a door is an incredibly low baseline. I can only think of a single Airbnb that I’ve stayed in that’s been worse than that (The key to the Airbnb was missing and the host was inaccessible)
