TOP REASONS TO STAY AT AN AIRBNB CONTINUED...
WASH YOUR CLOTHES
GET OUT OF THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE
- Airbnb rentals are typically located in local neighborhoods (rather than tourist areas, where hotels are) so they are more authentically fun, restaurants and shops charge less, and people are naturally friendlier.
GET INFO ON WHAT THE LOCALS LOVE
- Information provided by Airbnb property owners is more appropriate (to me) than what I extract from hotel staff. For instance, home owners recommend more down-to-earth (authentic, local favorite) restaurants than hotel concierges (trendy, touristy).
AFFORDABILITY
- The price of vacation rentals is usually lower than hotel rooms of comparable quality. My Airbnb rental in Boston this past March had a plush king bed, amazing shower and bathroom, two levels, full kitchen, deck, private entrance, nearby street parking, and many custom touches; the rate was half the price of nearby Boston city hotels. Let me repeat that: HALF the price of nearby hotels.
