"Comfortable beds, nice linens, soft towels, and well-chosen amenities and essentials."

Clean linens alone has me interested. That is by far the biggest headache for me when comparing an AirBnB to a hotel. Can I trust that the host actually cleaned the bed sheets?

You can't trust that a hotel did either.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Hotels cheap out on that stuff all the time.

I remember reading that hotels often prefer using harsher detergents because it gives the impression of "cleanliness" more than a milder detergent.

Cleanliness is often a matter of perception

The first thing we do when we get to an AirBNB is wash the linens. I'd never rent a place without a washer and dryer for this reason.
