Political Weirdos

Are you sure about that? Every cabin/condo I've stayed in my entire life has had a booklet of checkout instructions and while it differs from place to place you're generally expected to load and start the dishwasher. That's probably the most universal one. Stuff like stripping beds and starting laundry are more varied, but I've never seen instructions that are just totally cool with you leaving your dirty dishes out.

Hotels are different, of course, but still, you could get non-hotel places from tons of vacation rental companies before AirBnB.

I've looked at all the options I can find for decades for everywhere we go. Airbnb has been the best option I can find probably half the time for probably the last six or seven years. There are other options, but they aren't always better options.
