    For the last 5 or so years I’ve only used the P2P hospitality platforms if I’m looking for a specific amenity or if it’s a group. There’s an AirBnB I visit ~once per year that has a nice big hot tub right by a river. It’s a unique stay and something a hotel couldn’t really do, it’s also around the same price as a nice hotel room.

    Having a kitchen is nice in theory but if it’s a short term stay it doesn’t matter that much.

    The platforms stopped being a bargain at some point with the fees and cleaning and rules. I can get a hotel room for around the same price that includes a breakfast and as long as I don’t trash it they’re thrilled to get my business.
