[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope.  When pur family of 4 travels (one boy, one girl, in their early 20s), I'd much rather get an Air BnB or VRBO with 3 bedrooms than 2 hotel rooms and make them share a room.  Plus, I prefer having a kitchen to spending hundreds of dollars per week on breakfast out. [/quote]
Right. So if your are cheap, Airbnb or vrbo is the way to go. [/quote]

We are not DCUM level of wealthy and  prefer to spend our discretionary funds on other things:
- experiences
- college/grad school for our kids
- retirement

So what you call cheap, I call piece of mind, knowing our kids have great travel experiences, can see the world, become educated, and, won't have to worry about taking care of their parents as we age, since we have enough savings to travel and take care of ourselves.  Your name calling means nothing to me[/quote]

Whoever said staying in an AirBNB made you cheap for not wanting to eat breakfast out lives in a different universe than I do.  We are so much more comfortable in a home with separate bedrooms and a living room and a kitchen.  Being able to bring the toddler out to the kitchen for breakfast while others sleep is crucial.  Or get kids to bed at a decent hour.

I do think since the pandemic the average quality went down as many people decided to buy a vacation home and AirBNB it.  I prefer those that are professionally managed or have significant numbers of descriptive reviews. And I've followed up with the host a few times to.clarify what I've read.  Also more homes are available to rent via hotel companies.  [/quote]
