I really really love Airbnb, and I've mostly stayed at Airbnb and ignored hotel in the last 5 years perhaps. I now find hotels dirty, impersonal, and a chore to stay at to be honest.

Now, I've become increasingly irritated by Airbnb's pricing tactics. They are blatantly lying to you when it comes to how much you're going to pay.

I have two recent examples if you are not used to booking Airbnb:

* 99$/night room end up being 159$ for a night [1]

* 150$/night room end up being 500$ for two nights [2]

And these are not exceptions, but pretty much the norm nowadays. The final prices are ALWAYS way higher than what you would expect.
