Airbnb used to be about renting your room for short stay, nowadays it’s renting the whole unit/house, so the price reflect that. Then there’s also cleaning fee that usually around 30%/40% of the total price, which then they demand you to clean the place before leaving. They also jack up the price after covid. It might worth it if you have a big group, but for 1 or 2 persons hotel is still the best option.

Why is the Airbnb $225? This is the point of it to be cheaper. Also, I haven’t used an Airbnb in approximately seven years.

Ok yeah I’m remembering like renting out part of the house that was converted to an airbnb so that you can come and go without interacting much with the host, but they still live there in the other part of the house.

Airbnb no longer ads much value over hotels. Their pricing is frequently similar.

I’d say AirBnB’s pricing is worse since my hotel stay means I can just pack my stuff and leave. Most of the AirBnB’s I’ve stayed at have required me to cleanup after myself like I didn’t just pay a “cleaning” fee.
