    Not to mention the ‘hosts’ have been tacking all sorts of fees on top of your stay, and requiring people to do deep cleans, leaving a key in some lockbox a block away, etc.

    At this point you just want to get a hotel even if it costs more instead of dealing with some of their shit. In a hotel you walk in, someone actually is there to greet you, there’s no expectation that you clean the room, etc.

    Airbnb ruined their own product by letting the hosts ruin the experience.
