It’s hard to upgrade out of other guests near you slamming the door in the morning as they leave though. Or recycled air shared with a hundred other people that can make you sick.

That's funny, that's exactly the issue I had with AirBnB "guests" in my building. Also, them bumping their wheely suitcases down the stairs at 5am for the cheap flight home.

Agree, specifically on the soundproofing aspect. Being an incredibly light sleeper, I've paid extra for luxury hotels hoping I wouldn't hear silly TVs in the rooms adjacent and slamming doors starting at 7 and repeating with housekeeping.

With Airbnb I get a separate bedroom and a fridge that isn't the size of a shoebox and strategically filled so I can't put my own store bought water into it. Just thinking about hotel culture makes me mad. And it seems global.
