i'm anti-airbnb. i prefer to stay in hotels or professionally managed vacation rental units.

for example, there's absolutely ZERO chance a hotel will cancel your room on you 12 hours before you show up in europe.

Clearly you've never showed up at a hotel that's full despite having a reservation. I have.

It sounds like you personally prefer not to stay in an AirBnB. That's fine. I likewise prefer hotels to AirBnBs.

But why are you anti-airbnb?

Not in Europe, but I've had it happen twice in the US. Once in Dallas, once in Avalon on Catalina Island. (That one was, "Um, sorry, we only have you booked for one night, and we don't have any openings for the second night.")

Exactly that has happened to me probably half a dozen times
