I got burned on miss-sold/labeled AirBnBs a few years ago and they did nothing to make it up to me so I RARELY book with them anymore. Honestly with rewards points and such with hotel booking sites, and airbnb prices not being that much cheaper than a hotel, it often is just less hassle to go traditional hotel.
Agree but as some folks have pointed out Airbnb has more locations and can take you off the beaten track. Which is nice if you have children a dog and want some place quiet. There are always alternatives. Your point resonates with me because in London i have never found a Airbnb that comes close to hotel convenience. I enjoy the proximity of hotels in central London. So yes with Expedia I’m getting 10% off on a short stay and all things considered it’s pretty much less hassle and cheaper plus the standard of many hotels in London is good.
