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
