Airbnb is a thing because landlords pulled their long term rental units off the market and converted them into short terms at X times the old rate. Landlords love it because they make way more profit. Business travellers love it because they can stay in a nice trendy house or apartment instead of a hotel and they expense the trip anyway.

The people who don’t love it are the neighbours and anyone in the market for long term rentals.

And anyone in the market for a vacation that doesn't want to gamble on a terrible host.

Hotels might not be great, but they're way less of a gamble.

It only takes a vacation being completely ruined once or twice before you swear of AirBNB completely.
