     I noticed that some hotels also advertise on airbnb and they are more expensive than the same room on hotel-only platforms like booking.com.
     I guess airbnb is taking higher fees.
     But renting a whole flat via airbnb is usually still cheaper than a comparable hotel room.

     @nachtschatten true. I like that one can get full apartment with washing machine and kitchen on airbnb. for stays where one does not want to eat out it's ideal saving money on food - which amortizes the increase in room cost.

     @kaia @nachtschatten plus, you get to do fun things like finding the entrance to the apartment, searching for the key box or waiting for the owner and having to deal with broken lights, cleaning fees and hidden cameras. Hotels are just boring in comparison!

     hehe, not sure if it always helps, but I "scan" the dark room with my phone camera to discover IR lights. I found one once in a really bad Parisian airbnb hidden in the shower ceiling. the angle was weird though, from completely above.

     @kaia a lot of the time it's local laws regulating the shit out of airbnb with taxes, and people just preferring to get off the platform than pay them. typical mafia style extinction tactics

     @kaia and the quality varies a lot on top of you having to clean up after yourself
