[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We usually stay in hotels if it is less than 10 days.

More than 10 days, we absolutely stay at AirBnB, and we make breakfast at home and most other meals from outside. We also explore local farmers markets, get takeouts and I have zero problems making quick sides of veggies, soups, salads, rice  etc to round off the meal.

My family has no issues with dishwashing, laundry, cleaning and making our own beds.  It hardly takes 10-15 minutes.  Even in a hotel, we are in the habit of straightening our beds and keeping the rooms clean.

BTW - I have worked for a big hotel company (rhymes with chariot) and I will alway, always, clean my hotel room surfaces, check beds for bedbugs and body fluids,  and wash all the mugs, cups, spoon and glasses in a hotel room with dish soap that I carry.  The way housekeeping cleans is NASTY.  [/quote]

[b]AirBnBs have nasty cleaning practices too[/b], or expect you to do it. I have put all that behind me after hearing too many horror stories. Many hotels have moved over to disposable cups and cutlery. I don't touch the other stuff. Or the coffee maker anywhere. anywhere. [/quote]

Of course. Especially, if the owner is dialing in the cleaning remotely.  We had a not great experience in Hawaii. Owner was sitting in NYC. The condo was lovely and the location was superb. But the cleaning crew was horrible.  I had to actually clean everything once we were there so that I felt ok.
