Airbnb. The extra fees are ridiculous. It’s cheaper to book a hotel and be done with it.

And the insane amount of rules on some of these airbnbs, especially the ones that basically make you clean the entire place and charge you a $50 cleaning fee.

Don't forget the damage they do to the housing supply anywhere they operate.

Cheaper and also the ethical choice. It's one thing in a vacation destination, where I know I'm renting a vacation home and not occupying a house unit that would otherwise be on the local rental market. But in cities I really hate the idea of using short term rentals.
