I'm guessing that some of your AirBnB success is because you seem to choose fairly carefully and not just on price.

That said, you also seem to have had bad luck with hotels. I've stayed in many hundreds and the percentage of memorably bad experiences I've had is tiny. I'm not sure if I have had the kind of record you have had even if I go back decades. I can't remember the last time a hotel gave away my room.

That was not the message I tried to convey, sorry. I did a lot of business travel at one time, stayed in a lot of hotels and have no aversion to them at all. If I am traveling alone, I almost always stay in hotels. Family travel is usually with AirBnB.

I was simply saying that AirBnb should not be seen as universally evil based on a few stories, however horrible, as there are still use cases where it seems to work well. My 2c.
