airbnb isnt cheap tho, now a days it costs about as much as a hotel and they have way less amenities.
Way less amenities, that depends on your definition. An entire beautiful house with multiple rooms and a pool and a kitchen, versus a hotel room. Just the fact that we can put the kids to bed in their own rooms is worth it. I can't even think of amenities the hotels have that I don't get at air bnbs.
Conversely, my partner and I don't have kids so a small kitchen is really the only "bonus" an AirBNB can offer. We're usually able to find hotel rooms with a small fridge and just stock-up on easy to store, fresh food to offset the cost of dining out. Given that they're roughly the same price now we've been opting for more and more hotel rooms just for the consistency. At least in a hotel if there's an issue they'll quickly swap/upgrade the room just to avoid hassle.
Yes. Thanks. Can you read again what I wrote? It was cheaper, nowadays not so much. But being cheaper was what made it big, because places with similar approach were as expensive as hotels.
