Airbnb started off as a good idea, but it's become a bit of a monster. It was originally intended for people to use to rent out their spare rooms, or their homes & apartments when they were away. Which for users, provided a cheaper and more interesting experience than a hotel.

Ultimately it proved to be too successful of a business model and dedicated Airbnb-residences & operators proliferated. They're just as expensive as hotels now too, so I'm not really sure what the appeal is anymore. I was a big fan in the past, but personally I only use it to rent things like cabinets now, where there isn't really a hotel equivalent.
