>Think about how many hotels you've stayed at that were less than stellar?
Very often. I'm counting motels, because I'm comparing the same price points.
My experience with AirBnB has been both positive and negative. For the negatives, I never felt I got less than what I paid, and motels would have been more expensive. For the positive, it has always been cheaper than a motel.
I got to stay in downtown San Diego, renting a whole apartment, for a really good deal. No hotel would have been that cheap.
It was a nice apartment, not a super cheap-o place. And free parking.
I will say I don't demand too much. I'm not the type of person who wants fancy service. Just make it clean. And offer basic stuff (tissues, soap, etc).
