Why the fuck would I or anyone else do that? I Get a motel room before ever renting a room from a stranger.
It’s likely cheaper, and may be better located?
I thought we’d discovered that Air BnB is generally more expensive.
I don’t have data on that. I think it may be more expensive than a cheap motel, but that may not be the comparison someone is making when they choose.
It used to be this was the only type of accommodations they had listed on airbnb. Or at least the large majority.
