      True, but are Airbnb’s even cheaper than hotel rooms anymore in cities?

      Only time I’ve found that to be true is when you have a lot of people, getting a single Airbnb can be cheaper than multiple hotel rooms. Otherwise, Airbnb’s basically are similar in price or negligibly cheaper.

        Yes.

        I’m convinced 90% of the people complaining here don’t even travel, cause it isn’t even close. AirBnB is just cheaper almost everywhere I’ve been.

        Couple months ago in Austin Texas.

        Cheapest hotel: 250 a night. Airbnb in walking distance of good stuff, right outside downtown: $100 a night.

        Don’t have the numbers off the top of my head, but Finger lakes region in NY it was cheaper. In Portland it was cheaper. Lincoln Nebraska it was cheaper.

        Just got done booking AirBnBs in Japan, cause they were cheaper than hotels.

        Dunno what you’re doing to make airbnbs the same price as hotels tbh.

      The days of airbnbs being cheaper than hotels are long gone. When planning a trip to NOLA I looked into Airbnbs and they were all outrageously expensive, and insane cleaning fees, and had inane pet deposits. Ended up booking Marriott room with a kitchenette, no pet deposit, and parking for $100 less per night on top of none of the weird fees Airbnb hosts have, two blocks from bourbon street. I’ll never use Airbnb or similar services again.

      I usually find AirBnb more expensive than hotels. But I have had so many problems with AirBnb properties that I don’t even look there anymore…
