    This 100%.
    AirBnB used to be cheaper than a hotel. Then it got so easy to tack on fees and ridiculous requirements that you're basically paying more than a hotel to housekeep your own room. Mix in lots of shady hosts and most of the time I'd rather just stay at the Hilton for the same price.

    It can still be useful as a novelty, like book a party house somewhere or as easily cheaper way to house an awful lot of people. But for the most part, I'll pass.

    Airbnb was started to offer up your free space to someone for a night for a bit of cash, and that was it. Then the morons found out and bought whole ass houses specifically to rent out on Airbnb.

    People ruin everything.

    Yup. I used AirBnB when they first started and it wasn't terrible but then it became a huge hassle. Don't give me a list of chores and then I might get penalty fees if I don't do them right. Plus all the other damn fees. I don't even bother to look at ABnB any more
