The appeal of Airbnb’s to me is being able to share a place with friends or family. That’s the only time I’ve used them. Except for places where hotels aren’t commonplace. Like when we go to St. John. But even then, I’ve found that it’s usually cheaper to reach out directly instead of going through Airbnb. Or using Homeaway or VRBO.

Airbnb does not make sense to me for single or couples travels, unless the property is super cool. It certainly doesn’t appeal to me that much in major cities. I’d rather just get a hotel.

If hotels were smart they’d start redesigning their luxury suites into multi-bed/bathroom apartments. Because agreed, if I’m planning a trip with friends, it’s nice to have a shared living room & kitchen while also having my own bedroom to go to at night.

There are some rooms at lower end hotels in Las Vegas like that with bunk beds. It makes a lot of sense for a party hotel that caters to young people on a budget. Wouldn’t make sense for an upscale hotel though.

Hmm I don’t know, I could see a bachelor/ette city (like Nashville) selling suites like this easily. The bunk beds wouldn’t cut it though, give me my own room.

And it doesn’t have to be a luxury suite with a baby grand piano and crazy amenities, either. Just a few small bedrooms with a combined common area/kitchen for the same price as everyone getting their own room would be perfect for girls/guys trips.

I just want my hotel room to have some character. I've found some sick eclectic Airbnb's in my travels
