[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 outfits for 14 days? No one wants to wash every few day on a trip. [/quote]

I don't mind at all.

AirBnb in a rando European city with a washer/dryer combo unit (not stacked, single drum that is both washer and dryer) that runs a 4-5 hour wash/dry cycle. If it's quiet, you start load in at night and enjoy the clean clothes first thing in the morning. If it's loud, you start a load before you leave in the morning for the day and enjoy the clean clothes when you get back.[/quote]

Your answer is not relevant as the vast majority or people are not staying in Airbnb’s. [/quote]

I'm a big fan of European AirBNBs for family.  We have a refrigerator, washer (and sometimes dryer) and can have Wifi for everyone's devices (run through a  Beryl AX travel router).  We have no issue doing laundry while on the trip. Most of our adventures are in the a.m. when it is not too hot outside, and rest of the day we can relax in the AirBnB or scout the city as we want. We are doing 4 weeks abroad in 7 different cities, using carry-on, backpack, packing cubes, and ScotteVest for the heavy battery packs and other heavy electronic items.  I don't see why people wouldn't want to do AirBnBs. We sometimes get a price break since some of the units are a couple of floors up without an elevator, but we are healthy and don't mind.[/quote]

We don't do AirBnBs for a variety of reasons and think it is weird when people want to do that.  We stay in hotels for a variety of reasons mainly zero desire to stay in some randos house and the readily available services provided by a hotel.  We have a hotspot that everyone can connect to, we use hotel laundry services or have the hotel pick up/drop from local service on the rare occasion we need to do laundry.  If we need to relax we go back to the hotel, you have 24 hour access to hotel and don't understand how an Air BnB would be unique. Also don't understand how a hotel in the city would prevent you from scouting out a city.  iIn 2024 what heavy electronics are you carrying around all day?  [/quote]
