So much this. Same price and for what? Noise curfew and a bunch of house rules?

Almost like you’re imposing and them accommodating and doing you a favor - despite you paying for it.

Why do people even put up with hosts that have these conditions? If people ignored such places, the practice would have died long back.

Because sometimes you don't know about them ahead of time.  One AirBnB we were at let us know after got there that we couldn't cook in the kitchen after 10pm. That wasn't a problem for us, personally, but I know it would be for others.

I know, that’s the other craziness - the uncertainly and unprofessionalism of everything. Sometimes, even getting into the apartment can be a challenge with their secret key hiding places or code boxes… Especially if you arrive at night and just want to go to bed after a looooong trip.

Noise curfew? Wouldn't hotels have more noise restrictions than most AirBnBs?
