Been using Airbnb on and off for 10 years and I'm really not convinced it's a better model than traditional hotels. Maybe it's because I'm always looking at the cheaper end of the scale but when browsing Airbnb I can't help but feel suspicious at most listings, based on previous experiences. It's ALWAYS shittier than the pictures. Often there's a feeling of "oh well could be worse, we'll just deal with it" after walking in to these places.
I just checked a bunch of normal boutique hotels and their listing inspire much more confidence and are actually cheaper. At this point I have no idea what Airbnb offers that hotels don't do better.
