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.

We host a small apartment. It is the same price as a hotel room in our city, and has a private yard and a full kitchen. It is in a residential neighborhood down a long driveway instead of on a busy street. It is a much better deal. If there is no value to the listing, you should definitely pass.

We are much cleaner and more reliable than any hotel I have ever stayed in, but I understand that no guest could know that beforehand given the problems with some hosts on the platform.
