You paint too rosy a picture. Every time we've cleaned the property owner has always found something ELSE we didn't do properly and charged another $50-$100. You could fuck around for weeks trying to argue that. 

Or you could stop going to AirBnBs. So many are choosing the latter because ppl don't like to be screwed.

That's fair. I know there are some asshole hosts. But I've stayed in plenty of airbnb's myself and don't usually encounter that. I try to be considerate and leave the place like I found it. Usually it's someone's home.

On the other hand, a lot of guests treat the properties like shit. I usually don't charge for things that get broken or stained, but I will tell you it's mystifying how inconsiderate and careless some guests can be. I've had things break that literally don't make sense -- like you'd have to go out of your way to fuck up... I just chalk it up to the cost of doing business, but it's not exactly all rosy from the hosts point of view either. I'm not complaining. It's the cost of doing business and I obviously wouldn't rent if I couldn't deal with it.

Airbnb is not for everyone and it's not perfect. If someone prefers to stay in a hotel, more power to them. I stay in hotels too sometimes. It just depends on the context. Sometimes it makes more sense to stay in a hotel. Sometimes you get more bang for your buck in an Airbnb. I just hate threads like this where it's painted to be all black and white -- like Hotels are great and Airbnbs suck. It's just not that simple. There are shit hotels all over the place that charge way too much and give you a dingy, tiny, dark room. And there are asshole Airbnb hosts who shouldn't be in the business and give the platform a bad name. And there are also asshole guests who have no business staying in a hotel or an Airbnb.

Anyway, I'm not preaching to the choir and will be continue to be downvoted in this thread. I don't care. I'm just trying to give a hosts perspective.
