I'm paying them, no wonder they're friendly. Normal wear and tear should be factored into their prices, same as if I was renting a hotel room or apartment or car.

When an AirBNB listing looks like they expect me to put myself at extra inconvenience, I don't bother with it. Especially with how many of them are basically full-time landlords of their rented spaces these days.

I think there's room in between. If the owner expects you to treat the property well, they can do things to enhance your experience that a hotel can't. But treating things well is a minor burden, so sometimes you just want to get a hotel and not worry about it.

More than a few of my AirBnB hosts didn't really seem like they needed the money, but they really enjoyed meeting new people and being in the company of their guests.
