I stopped using airbnb long ago.... hotels can be around the same price too

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 62 points 8 months ago

Hotels are often cheaper in destination areas, and you get the convenience of fucking room service. In a lot of destination areas, home ownership has rapidly declined in favor of permanent AirBnB rentals. Because why charge $3000 in rent per month to a tenant, when you can charge $350 per night and have AirBnB guests for 20 nights a month?

But it also means Airbnb has landlords getting even more greedy. Cleaning fees are often used as a way to directly increase the rental cost. Requirements for guests are increasingly restrictive. And the nightly rent is often so exorbitant that you can literally get a hotel and room service for cheaper.

You get to fuck room service? Where do you stay?!

I've been, don't believe the hype. Horse sashimi was delicious though.

Oh, you went to that place where they have the horse walk up to the table and slice you off a hunk, very nouveau riche!
