 huh, am i the only one who hasn't experienced any of this before?

maybe i've just been incredibly fortunate 
 I've never had any bad Airbnb experiences either. 
 i feel more at home at AirBnb places than hotels. hotels feel so tacky and fake to me, idk.

maybe just use booking.com or smth instead i suppose 
 Hotels are great. Bed is usually good quality. You can order room service whenever. Mini bar in the room. Free soaps and shampoos. Complimentary robe. People at the front desk will help you with requests, give directions etc… somebody else makes your bed and cleans up after you every day. Giant ice machine down the hall. Huge pool and gym. Bar downstairs. Paradise. 
 i don't know

they just don't feel like home to me

maybe i just don't like that tourist kinda vibe that hotels make me feel 
 I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs all over the world over the last decade. A few of them on the weekly rate and 3 of the on the monthly rate. Lived in them during the lockdowns at incredible prices.

There's been a trend that's growing where more and more of them want you to do an absurd amount of cleaning while still charging a large cleaning fee. The last bad one wanted all the trash taken outside to a big can and then the can down to the curb, start washing all the towels, put all the sheets in the laundry room, and wash the dishes. Not much else to be done before the next guest but they still charged $220 cleaning fee.

Outside of that extra time needed to comb through the bullshit, in some cities it can be better than a hotel. Very different in other cities and countries. 
 yeah, i do agree on that

why do i not get back the cleaning fee, if i'm literally taking care of all of it 
 It's kinda like on eBay. People realized they make more money if they shave a little off the price and then hide it in the shipling 
 make couch surfing great again & help a fren @ the sametime 
 We need more B&Bs! (Bed & Breakfast) 
 I've never stayed in one 🥹 
 never even heard of them, murican thingy? 
 I don’t think so.

 😱🤣😂🤣🫂 
 LMAO 
 🤣 
 I assumed they were a global thing but I guess not 🤣 Think of it like an Airbnb house but the owners cook you breakfast. 
 Nah it’s global, maybe no so much anymore with Airbnb 
 oh

so i'm basically at grandparents?

fuck yeah 
 Basically 🤣 
 Ohh I’ve stayed at a few. Always been the best experience. Just a couple thing ya know, let the kids stay home. 
 It would be fun to do for sure. Especially one in the countryside. 
 I've also not had bad hotel experiences I guess either. I'm sure both have their issues if you're unlucky and RNG hits you. I like each for different reasons. If I'm barely going to spend any time there, then a hotel all the way, but if I'm planning on spending a lot of time there, then I'd like to spend time in an Airbnb. 
 I just used one and it was awesome. Didn’t have to clean anything. 🤷🏻
