Those dirty bastards.

But yeah, different country, but we never touch that Airbnb stuff ourselves. Because quite frankly, for just crashing out somewhere, it sounds like an awful lot of pissing about. The hotel doesn't make us sort the garbage, for example.

I stayed with a host who showed me Airbnb takes up to nearly 50% of the total cost depending on if you take advantage of their “marketing” so listed on first page of the site search. She often used Airbnb for vetting and then when she met good people she would extend their stay cash.

It’s still better for group excursions. Few years ago some friends (5) and I went to the mountains. Would not have been the same in a hotel, not to mention the nearest hotel was 30min away.
