    I mostly use it when:

    • I need 2 or more rooms.
    • I need an apartment for a week or so.

    But I never used it as a replacement of a regular hotel double room.

      AirBnB is a decent option if you want to hang out with a larger friend group, like 10 people in an apartment is more fun than 10 people divided into 5 hotel rooms.

      otherwise just get a hotel

      also hotels don’t fucking ruin city centers

        Yeah on top of ruining city centers, it’s made it hard to find housing in a lot of places. I move around the US every 6-8 months for fun with my dog cuz I’m a young dumb bartender, and since the surge in people gobbling up homes for Airbnb profits, it’s just getting harder to find dog friendly homes for short term lease. I really wish they’d limit Airbnb home ownership like Atlanta did.

        tru but, good luck finding one that “allows” that – maybe I’ve been to too many VHCOL places, but pretty much most of them are like “NO GUESTS” etc.
