As usual, a few jerks ruin it for the rest of us.
I've stayed at a number of airbnbs and we're very respectful of our neighbors. We basically treat the place as if we lived there, because that's what we're looking for.
Hotels suck:
- no kitchen, just a microwave if you're lucky
- expensive for a small space
- housekeeping - I don't want strangers looking through my stuff
- target for crime - cars get broken into a lot at hotels and motels
- annoying check-in process, always seem to need to ask the desk people for something, etc
I just don't like hotels. Maybe zoning could limit airbnbs to townhouse/condo communities or something that are all rentals, but give me more options than a stupid hotel.
