Seriously my first and only airbnb experience was a luxury house in Spain. He left a negative review because we didn't clean? What? He had a cleaner meet us and we paid a cleaning fee. We dropped all the towels by the washing machine. We were given no clear instructions. Who pays all this money to then worry about cleaning an entire house on holiday? I can't stand Airbnb and would rather use a specialist holiday rental agency dedicated to the area I'm headed to.

I've stayed in ~70 Airbnbs over the last few years and have never gotten those sorts of demands. That seems unreasonable and I'd just ignore them.

I hate airbnbs because they either charge $20 to send someone to pick your garbage or you have to haul garbage publicly and find a place to dump it. I understand it costs money but just build it into your daily rate and don't nickel and dime me for every silly request- additional towels- $5/pop, Early checkin- $50, late checkout- $100. As if all the flights in the world now fly you into and out of city between 11am and 4pm.

To love hotels you are probably spending at least 400/night on them right? Anything lower and the standards are usually all over the place.

On a tighter budget (50-150$) I always prefer airbnbs.
