right. I was talking about the 'quintessential' part. Entire apartments isn't quintessential airbnb, atleast for me, I've been using regularly for over a decade. Op was also talking about airbnbing someones floor in a condo not 'entire apartment'.

It’s about meeting hosts, not sure if you read the posts properly, or what the point of the needless snark is

> It’s about meeting hosts,

> I'm back to hotels because that was the closest I came to having the quintessential perfect AirBnB experience.

since when do hotels have 'hosts' ? I even quoted that line in my original response. Airbnb = 'air bed and breakfast' , i.e renting an air mattress in someones home, that was the original idea anyways. Renting 'whole apartments' came much later and insn't a 'quintessential' airbnb experience.

> Not sure if you’ve never used it

Also, I read that as snark too.
