I've both used and hosted AirBnB. I probably have ~50 experiences of various transactions.

0 problems.

I hate that the fees are hidden until you are about to pay, but the actual service is like renting out a furnished apartment/house. Way back when, people were renting out rooms in their home, so you actually got to talk to a host to get advice about the area, and the home was decent.

Today its basically a bunch of landlords who have some property manager and cleaning service taking care of a furnished apartment/house.

But its just another hotel-style company. I imagine you havent tried chatgpt either.
