My wife and I stopped when it stopped being second homes. There was a time when people were renting spaces they had used. So the Airbnb was equipped and comfortable. Might not be the best furniture but the host had at least spent a few nights on the bedor used the kitchen. 

Now i find too many places were bought exclusively to be short term rental properties and have the absolute bare stuff minimum Airbnb allows and the cheapest shit from wal mart and ikea. They just go down the checklist and buy it, nothing more.

If I am paying upwards of $600/night, I don’t want the cheap black plastic 4 pack of turners from Wal Mart, 4 threadbare towels, and a flat packed box spring and shit mattress.

I forgot to mention Cost as well.. AirBnB sucks.. so does VRBO.. Foreign countries, they may be ok in certain instances
