> It was a way better experience than using a hotel. He actually double booked the room for a couple of the days, so he gave us a different apartment in Manhattan for those days.

How good would the experience be if he didn't have that second apartment?

It would've sucked. The double booking was an accident as far as I could tell, and that's not unheard of at normal hotels. I wasn't counting the chance of getting to stay in multiple places as a benefit of short-term rentals. It's negligible.
