Yeah all of that is true. Also in a hotel room if you have a problem you can ask for a new room or for other help. At Airbnbs I have had several issues and then not gotten a response from the host, for hours. Sometimes even happened preventing checkin. Saw some crazy filth and had my car broken into at Airbnbs, been told a parking spot was included then basically told to get over it when that wasn’t true (and this was in a city with very expensive parking). It’s just way too unreliable. I agree, long ago it was a good service but a lot of the reason I liked it then was the price and now that’s not even good.
The last maybe 3 airbnbs I stayed in, the bathrooms had black mold and rotten wood trim around the tubs toilets and sinks. I wish I was making that up.

I’ve seen stuff like that too. I saw the biggest cockroach of my life in one as well.
