5 reasons why we use Airbnb

Nowadays Airbnb seems to be fighting against fire on all fronts. Legal and tax problems, mixed with strong resistance of the old guard of the hospitality, mean that this relatively young startup is besieged in cities around the world. We have already talked about the fact that we use the page regularly-in fact, our contribution to the Airbnb label is: 10 tips for guests one of the most popular on the page. It is enough to say that we are fans of the service.

We understand the emergency of traditional hotels, but there are many small and large things that Airbnb can learn. Here are only five of them:

Cheaper tariffs

We love the Sharing aspect of Airbnb, but we admit that the first and most important reason why it was so well received is pure and evil money. On the whole, it is cheaper than the corresponding hotel stays on hundreds of travel destinations.

When you visit New York, even a budget hostel will tear a considerable hole in your pocket; An Airbnb stay will probably be much, much cheaper. There is also the opportunity to stay outside the city center to save costs. Decent hotel options in similar distances will be relatively rare.

All day breakfast

Being on vacation should mean that you can sleep in as long as you want. Unfortunately, the curse of the hotel breakfast has caused so many of us to torture themselves out of bed to catch the last crumbs of the buffet before everything is packed and brought away. At Airbnb this is a different story. You can wake up at any time and stroll into the kitchen to prepare and enjoy a cozy breakfast.

Access to a kitchen

Some modern hotel rooms have a kitchenette, but mostly they are limited to a room with two rooms: bedroom and bathroom. Airbnb generally offers you free hand in all areas of the house so that you can prepare all of your meals if you tend to do so. Peter and I try to cook as much as possible when we are in an Airbnb accommodation, as this is not just a great way to try out local ingredients, but also keep the costs low!

No tip

I am sure that there are people who are more sophisticated than me who feel completely comfortable with the culture of tip. The gentle trust and the subtle handshake, the gratitude of gratitude of a server - I have experienced it, but I am never. Instead, I fumble around and worry about whether I pay too little or too much or wait, should I give you a tip at all?

There are no hotel plagues or concierges in an Airbnb accommodation. There are no maids or servers or elevator operators. There is no reason for fear or awkwardness - perfect for the British in me.

A local guide

My Favorite Indian restaurants in London are The Kati Roll Company in the Oxford Circus, Bangalore Express in Waterloo and Lahore Kebab House in Aldgate East. Only one of them is in the best travel guide for London that I found, and it is unlikely that Hoteliers would recommend them to their more famous counter (Veeraswamy, Tayyabs and the many in Brick Lane).

I recommend every Airbnb guest who stayed with us, most of which have tried one of the restaurants and absolutely loved it. The stay with a host who has a sound knowledge of the city adds a cultural added value that you rarely receive from a hotel confectioner or his collection of leaflets.

Of course, hotels have their advantages (a regular cleaning service includes), but Airbnb wins in the long -term struggle for guests.
