FlumPHPAirbnb bans all indoor security cameras
authI stopped using airbnb long ago… hotels can be around the same price too
Never used an AirBnB and never plan to. The whole “you have to clean up after yourself” part is a major turnoff for me. I go on vacation to relax, not clean. I rather pay a little bit extra for housekeeping.

I mean, yeah you’re expected to be respectful of the space you’re using. If you make a mess, you’re expected to clean it up or pay an extra cleaning fee. There’s a really easy way around that though - don’t make a mess. Seems reasonable to me.
Right, but hotels don’t expect you to take out the trash, wash the towels/bedding, or wash the water cups/ice bucket. Even if you don’t make a mess you still often have to do those things on top of the cleaning fee you’re paying.
Every Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in doesn’t make me do any of that. Obviously if the trash gets full, I’d take it out, but it’s never been a requirement. The furthest I’ve ever had to go with bedding/towels is to remove them from the beds and pile them up on the floor. Similar with dishes, I’ve only ever had to put them in the dishwasher, never wash them myself.
I’ve had the same experience, though I’ve only used a handful of them. It’s definitely worth it for us since we use them for reunions, so there’s >20 people staying there and we value the larger gathering areas. I never use them for just us (wife and kids) because it’s not really price efficient.
That said, when I start in a hotel, I usually clean up after myself. I know the cleaning staff get paid poorly, so I leave a modest tip and do most of the tidying myself.
