    Really? When I compare hotel rooms to whole houses on AirBnB, the hotel rooms are always cheaper. Are you comparing rooms on AirBnB to hotel rooms?

      How does a room on AirBnB work? I guess I got the impression in media it was all whole apartments or houses.

      Edit: Obviously you would search for a room. I mean for privacy / security, ingress, etc.

        Idk, but it sounds pretty sketchy. There are couch surfing sites too, so I imagine similar to that.

        I just would never use AirBnB. For a single guy, hotels have been better in basically all scenarios.
