Well I find it really useful for taking my family on holiday. Hotels are not good places to bring very young kids and the prices are way out of our range.
Of course it's designed to make money for hosts.
I live in Edinburgh and over the last ten years I've witnessed a change that isn't something I want. The old town is more or less a filthy theme park where few residents can or would want to live. Lots of my co workers used to live there. It's a shame. I have friends who've got a lot of noise issues with an Airbnb opposite their tennement / block.
Hopefully some sensible planning laws can be brought in that don't kill Airbnb in the city but limit it some how.
Edit and I wish Airbnb would include all fees in the advertised price
