Hotels suck anyway. I can't imagine why anyone would want to pass through a reception and a bunch of corridors just to arrive "home", at a small room with bad furniture, and it isn't even cheap.

It might make sense if you just need a place to crash after a long day of traveling, but it's not a way to live.

I don't visit foreign cities to 'live'. That's for the locals -- they're the ones who deserve to be able to live in the towns they work in, not be driven out because of AirBnB.

You just described living in a major city. Thats my life in my apartment in <Major West Coast City>.

That might describe SF. Or student dorms. Most cities I've been to aren't like that.

Any apartment building has corridors and halls to get to apartments. Any expensive city has small apartments. Any high-end apartment (or big complex in a city) has a doorman/front desk.
