Yup. We often find that airbnbs are more expensive and less convenient than hotels while traveling.
We love airbnb in India. Hopefully owners don't get too greedy and turn into this. Even my properties are expected to get dirty and being cleaned up by a housekeeping person.
Unless a guest breaks or steals anything there's no problem. The issue is airbnb doesn't protect us from any of the damages. And asking a deposit puts people off, there's enough cheap competition in the area I guess.
Don't get me wrong, I used to love them. Until I realized they got too expensive + the fact we're in the middle of a housing crisis and many houses are now short term rentals, which doesn't help things
