Only reason I use an AirBNB is if it's a unique location where there are no hotels (like a cabin in the woods on a river or something) but I agree, I only book ones that don't have a ridiculous checkout policy.

I also hate that private equity has taken over towns with short term rentals making the rest of us pay more in rent.

We once used it back when it really was just individual people with extra places renting them out short-term when we stayed in New York, but that was like 2009. And then my mom insisted on paying for one when she went with me to the Mayo Clinic earlier this year, but at least it was just someone renting out the bottom half of the duplex they owned and not a corporation... but yeah, unless there's just not another good option, I'm not doing AirBnB when it's my choice.
