The last two times we traveled, we looked at Airbnb versus hotels. The Airbnb's were all ~$150 for a bedroom in a shared space with shared bathroom/kitchen/living room, or ~1000-~1500 for a house or one floor of a two-story house. The hotel was $325 and $275 for a suite style in both cities.

To me, it's worth it to get consistent quality, guaranteed privacy, no questions about safety, and again, consistency in quality.

And I prefer Airbnb because sometimes I can't afford hotels. It means you're richer than me. I'm glad there are offerings for both of us.

In many markets the prices are very close, once you factor in Airbnb's fees, cleaning services and local taxes/levies. Airbnb is most useful for non-traditional stays, like a cabin at the lake.
