This. I have never used air bnb, but I wonder why someone would spend that much to stay in a strangers house and have to pay all of those excessive fees, when you can just stay in a hotel, which is probably closer to what you're in town for.

Airbnb’s are hard to beat if you have a large group of people.

I go on a big ski trip with my buddies every year to a different mountain. There’s 12-14 of us and we get a huge house close to the mountain for the week. Usually costs somewhere between $400-600/person for the entire week. Comes out to less than $75/night for a beautiful house.

Staying in a giant mountain house for that price, with all of your friends, and the amenities afforded by these houses  (pool table, fire place, hot tub, huge rooms, tall ceilings, etc.) is hard to beat.
