Why do people even use Airbnb's when it's:

- a worse experience

- more expensive

- unreliable

Is it because it's "trendy"? I don't get it.

I keep wondering this myself. I've never used one because I just don't get the appeal. I assumed people used it because it was cheap, and I didn't mind paying more for a hotel...but then saw it's even more expensive than a hotel!

Hotels pamper you, clean your room and towels daily, often have food and alcohol, often have shuttles to take you around, great locations, etc. AirBNB has none of that. I have to be missing something?

I think several years back, AirBnb was cheaper than hotels (but they've gotten more expensive over time).

The ones I was in last year were considerably cheaper than the hotels, other than the hotel rooms that were actually multi listed as Airbnb since there is a merging of those now...
