The thing I don't get about being a host is stranger-proofing your home. I don't want my stuff disappearing and certainly don't - TWuG Sep 6, 11:37 8
- I rented out my apt on craigslist for football game weekends in grad school. strangely - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 6, 11:40 2
  - our attic what now? -- nm - C&O Sep 6, 11:42 1
    - my listing actually says "must love chubby siamese cats." (ollie's fine.) speaking of cats, my new rug is here! I will photo for you all later. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 6, 11:43
- not all, but i would say most, are no longer people's actual homes. They are apartments etc that exist solely as airbnb. -- nm* - Andie Sep 6, 11:38 4
  - yeah. in the city here it's that. in the weekend getaway region down south it's more like an informal timeshare management company. - mafic Sep 6, 16:48
  - We have an owner that lives in hers all week and then stays with her sister on weekends she rents hers out. They do a 70/30 split on the money. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 11:41 1
    - sound$ like a nice racket -- nm - mud Sep 6, 11:44
  - This. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Sep 6, 11:41
I don't fundamentally understand Airbnb. Less amenities and more responsibilities (as opposed to none) than a hotel -- nm - MDH Sep 6, 11:04 24
- We mostly use it with groups of 3 or more. It's usually less expensive overall, plus you have a shared space instead of meeting in the hotel lobby or - JaxSean Sep 6, 11:45
- Neither hotel I stayed at in LA and NYC last weekend had self-serve laundry on site. - Max Sep 6, 11:44 2
  - (they stuck you in a bad hotel zone. either BH proper or somewhere up closer to Sunset in WeHo woulda been better) - hollywood big shot Sep 6, 11:49 1
    - location, location, vocation as they say. -- nm - Max Sep 6, 11:51
- it was nice as a room in someone's house - good way to meet someone in the area, talk to, have a kitchen, etc. that was at the beginning - colin Sep 6, 11:42
- privacy -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 11:35 1
  - i.e., murder basement -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 6, 11:36
- We just booked a little cabin with a wood stove in extreme upstate NY for our road trip to VT. It’s more for the experience, in this case -- nm - mara Sep 6, 11:30 9
  - very nice. -- nm - Andie Sep 6, 11:32
  - oh nice. jealous. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 6, 11:31 7
    - Link for the stalkers -- (link) - mara Sep 6, 11:39 6
      - That's adorable -- nm - JaxSean Sep 6, 11:48
      - cute! -- nm - Andie Sep 6, 11:43
      - fun fact: we have peru, PA right near her. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 6, 11:42 1
        
        home of franch fries -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 6, 11:51
      - nice - that's way, way up there and the middle of nowhere :) -- nm - decline Sep 6, 11:41 1
        
        Yup, driving from S Indiana to VT via the Hopewell mounds (OH) to Pittsburgh, Niagara Falls, Finger Lakes, and Champlain. -- nm* - mara Sep 6, 11:52
- It’s a lot roomier for us, and a lot quieter. - kelly Sep 6, 11:28
- there are places i like a kitchen, and sometimes they are in neighbourhoods without a hotel, but, other than Cuba earlier this year, i have been using -- (edited) - Andie Sep 6, 11:26
- I think if you are traveling for extended periods they can make sense (a full kitchen is nice for a traveling family, right?) - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 6, 11:14 1
  - And separate bedrooms (for traveling with kids). -- nm* - znufrii, vice president Sep 6, 11:19
- I've found them very convenient when I take trips with my dog - decline Sep 6, 11:13
- like all disruptions, at first they were undercutting hotels on price. post-pandemic they're gouging the customer base they built up -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 6, 11:06 1
  - (i did one in Normandy when the fam went to France in 2019, because i was along for the ride. it was fine for a night but also you're just staying in - hollywood big shot Sep 6, 11:08
Halifax brought something like this in, but enforcement will be the issue. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 11:01
LA's aren't quite as draconian from my reading but they have restrictions and then mostly don't enforce them much -- (link) - hollywood big shot Sep 6, 11:00
Competition eliminated. Good job, boys. -- nm - NYC Hotels Sep 6, 10:59 2
- in the same sense Uber/Lyft were "competition" for a highly regulated taxi industry -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 6, 11:01 1
  - Yup. Hotels are regulated and these rentals are not but the biggest issue is taking rentals off the market. -- nm - Krusty Sep 6, 11:59
