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.

Well, I'd say it's because people that travel in groups can get a better deal by booking an Airbnb instead of booking multiple rooms in a hotel, and it also gives them the benefit of having shared space (living room) and a kitchen.

It also usually makes sense for longer stays, say a 30-day stay where the Airbnb's usually grant a ~20-30% discount, which makes them cheaper than a hotel.

Other than that, I agree there's little reason to choose an Airbnb over a hotel.
