the negative externalities are too big for me. Whole neighborhoods taken from the local housing market, just so I don't have to pay for a hotel? Not worth it.
Not to mention, when I'm travelling, I prefer to be serviced by professionals, and not by amateurs. I don't do the Blabla Car thing, and I don't do AirB.
You gets what you pays for. With AirB, you much too often get no luggage storage on check out day; you have to cater to the whims of the host re: check in; the square meter count isn't comparable because you never know how much personal stuff is already in a room, etc. etc.

The problem is, I've stayed at some great Airbnbs. It's just you never know until you've stayed there
That's good
yeah, same with me, always been a delight
You're lucky!
