[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tables have turned, you can rent a nice hotel that someone will clean and not be crushed with rules and fees.

Also, some of the places are way overpriced and when you get there, you can tell the owner hasn't been there to take inventory of things like kitchen items, towels etc. [/quote]

Yes, and it's not fun to start the vacation by contacting the owner to tell them everything that is broken or missing in their house, or discovering some defect on day 5 and feeling you'll be on the hook for something you didn't even do.  I don't like that many places don't have enough smoke detectors or carbon monoxide monitors, so I have to bring them myself. Remote places tend to have satellite wifi connections, and the last couple of places, that has been terrible and the tv, netflix and internet doesn't work many hours of the day. I also dislike when kitchens are stocked with old flaking teflon pans and chipped plates and dull knives.

I've been living next to a house being run as a short term rental without the owner's permission. Tracking that listing, I've learned about fake host names, fake photos and fake reviews, so am now a doubting Thomas and would rather put my trust in Marriott or Hilton.[/quote]
