I’ve used one once by accident (booked through a different website) and it was just someone’s spare room, which I found pleasant. Then they charged me for a beer that evening and breakfast the following morning, which I found bizarre. I mean it makes sense but it felt odd.
Was it like “Hey do you want a beer?” Or like… How does that even work? I’ve never interacted with any of the Hosts at an AirBnB - they never seem to be home, and they clearly go out of the way to avoid me.
They sent me a menu when they confirmed the booking and asked me if I wanted anything when I was there. They’d bought in soy milk I think it was because I’d asked if they had a vegan option, which was nice enough of them. I suppose these must’ve been the exception rather than the rule then.
They’re great for group gatherings, not so much for individuals traveling. So when my family gets together (there’s 20+ of us), Airbnb is way better (cheaper, large private gathering space, etc). If it’s just us (wife and kids), and hotel room is plenty.
Thanks for your comment. I usually travel alone and was like “why would anyone subject themselves to AirBNB.” I appreciate the context and perspective.
I never used an Airbnb fortunately because I rarely travel, but when I do travel I just find a fairly cheap hotel to stay.

Like did you drink a beer, and eat breakfast?
