As someone who has only heard of it and never used it... why in the world would you take a 225$ a night airbnb?  

I always thought that it was meant as a hassle free, low cost alternative for people who can't or won't afford a hotel?

I get the feeling OP hasn't stayed at any, and is just jumping on the hate pile. I've stayed at quite a few and they have all been anywhere from fine to fantastic. 

You can rent anything from a small room to a whole house so the price varies alot. We had 9 people stay in a 4 bedroom house in Portland once and that was pretty spendy but you can cook and hang out there so it ends up being pretty fun. At a hotel that would have been like 3 rooms at least and we would have had to go out everytime we wanted to hang out together.
