sasha and I are trying to get away for a few days soon and she sent me a message last night asking if $600 per night was above my limit for an airbnb.

with fees etc it came to $722 per night.

why would we not just stay at a hotel at that point?

Responses:

Air B&B has destroyed their own market due to price. Why stay at them with all the benefits hotels offer? -- nm - MDH Jun 17, 09:24 5
- I like the privacy and being able to have a kitchen at my disposal. Plus, finding 2 bedroom places for a little more than a one room hotel room works - kelly Jun 17, 10:19 1
  - It's a great option for families (especially with younger kids). -- nm - pmb Jun 17, 10:38
- Depends on my destination. I like having a kitchen, privacy, space. But it really is a mix of price/location/duration of stay/amenities/etc when deciding. -- nm* - Andie Jun 17, 09:55
- At similar price points, I'd prefer a full apartment to myself vs. a hotel room. Hotel benefits have been minimal during the pandemic - oblique Jun 17, 09:34
- privacy -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 09:34
For that price, why not just buy a house?! -- nm - ty97 Jun 17, 09:22 2
- In today's market? -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 09:22 1
  - buy 3 two-by-fours -- nm - Beaker Jun 17, 09:23
IMO Airbnb priced themselves right out of the market with " cleaning" and " service" fees. - Pippy Jun 17, 09:11 2
- There are definitely good deals to be found but yeah, a lot of options are just WTFBBQ expensive -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 09:16 1

I will only book an AirBnB if it is price comparable with a hotel at this point. Early on in the pandemic I would (and did) pay a bit of a premium - oblique Jun 17, 09:03 2
- Typically we book larger houses via AirBnB to share with others, so splitting the cost. - JaxSean Jun 17, 09:06 1
  - Yeah, that would totally work and I'd jump on that kind of option -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 09:07
per *person*? Sheesh -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 09:02
