[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 kids and DH sometimes snores, so I like to have a separate bed I can move to in the night if needed. In an airbnb, we can all get our own bed, as well as multiple bedrooms. That is the biggest perk.

The other main perk is we can all sleep in however long we like without worrying about waking the group. (DH is a 5:30 riser, youngest dc is usually up at 6:30, and the older two and I like to sleep to 8). The first ones up can have some coffee/cereal and watch tv in the living room, work on a puzzle, etc. while waiting for the rest of the group.

Same thing at night- everyone can go to bed at their "bedtime" and not get out of sorts with their schedule, but then the rest of us don't need to tiptoe around.

As far as cooking, we usually get tired of restaurant food if we eat out every meal. It's nice to have some snacks and easy grab n go items on hand - fruit, cereal, yogurt, bag salad, sandwich items. Sometimes it's nice after a busy day of activities to order in food and sit in the dining room or eat dinner on the couch (where we can all fit comfortably), using real plates and silverware, and watch a movie.

At an airbnb house, the kids can play in the yard, go in the hot tub, play ping pong in the basement, or foosball in the garage, or whatever amenity there is, while DH and I can have a little time to enjoy a drink and some quiet.

I personally like to be able to do laundry so I don't come home with loads of laundry to do.

We've probably stayed in 25+ airbnbs and never had to spend more than 10 minutes on the clean up process. I can't remember the last time I've had to strip a bed.

Obviously not all airbnbs will be good (nor will all hotels) but there's nothing inherent about an airbnb that you to do laundry, or cook, or wash dishes, etc.[/quote]
