Yeah, I'm never using Airbnb again. This device is a crutch for wannabe hoteliers who don't know what hospitality is.

The prices on Airbnb aren't much different from real hotels, and there's way less of a gamble with a hotel brand that can't just delete their user profile and create a new one tomorrow after a bad review.

Recently I've been finding hotels at a lower cost than airBNB.

yea, I'll take the nicer room, downtown, without a load of cleaning fees
