Similar price, no bullshit cleaning instructions (then cleaning fees on top), no immoral monitoring, consistent experience.
AirBnB was at best a cute gimmick for a few years. Now it's a measurably worse experience.
The idea of "I've got a spare room that I'll briefly rent out for cheap" is nice, but as all nice things, it inevitably gets ruined by twats on all sides. Likewise with ridesharing apps that could serve the use case "I'm heading that way, maybe someone needs a ride that way too", but end up a shadier version of Taxis.
