    I don’t understand how people can afford it. Ive done it exactly once for a 4 day getaway for myself. It was like 1300 bucks for four days. I paid 2 months of their mortgage for a 4 night stay

      I feel like AirBnBs just aren’t for single travelers though. When you can rent a whole house that sleeps 4-8 people, that’s when you can get things closer to $100-200 a night (or less), on par with hotel pricing. A group of travelers can also take advantage of the extra common space to hang out in, something you can’t really do in a hotel. A single person probably doesn’t care about being able to play board games out in the open concept living room/kitchen area, but that’s a marketable feature for the group of 6 that are in town for a bachelorette party or whatever.
