[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is precisely why I won't do airbnb. [/quote]

I don't understand the appeal either.   Nothing about Air BnB seems relaxing or reassuring.[/quote]

It is a potential cost saver when hotels are too pricey.  [/quote]

We have an upcoming aBnB reservation.  Why?  Because to stay at the Residence Inn near my in-laws house would cost $270 per night for a one BR and $295 for a two BR (which we would normally stay in).  I can get a Hampton Inn for as little as $229 per night.  To get the rate under $200 per night, I have to stay 25+ minutes away.

Alternatively, we found a 3-BR, 2BA 2500 sf house that will cost just over $800 for the week instead of $2300.  Even if we have to pay the $300 security fee or $500 for a damaged piece of furniture, I'll come out ahead.  Plus, the house is much nicer than the hotel.

My parents live in a suburb where the closest hotel is 15 miles, 25 min away.  The suburb just doesn't have any hotels of any sort.  They have one guest room and when only one of us comes to visit, we're fine.  When we have a family gathering with both of my siblings, all of our spouses, and 5 grandkids, we can't stay in the one guest room and we don't really want to commute 25 minutes both ways daily.  But there are a couple of homes with at least 2 BR in the neighborhood that are within 10 minutes drive of my parents home.  Plenty of space, nice homes and convenient.

My BIL/SIL like to spend vacations at a small town on the Oregon Coast.  There is one flea-bitten motel in town that has seen much better days.  When they visit, they airBnB to stay in the summer homes of locals that aren't using them.  Significantly nicer than the hotel.  Otherwise it's about 35 minutes to the nearest hotel that doesn't feel like it was last updated in the 1950's.

There are many reasons that people airBnB. [/quote]
