i used airbnb once for a trip to europe, and one of the hosts cancelled on me the night before, causing me to scramble to find a hotel that was wildly overpriced. the next airbnb in the other city was run by a couple of weirdos who i didn't feel comfortable interacting with. i'm never using it again - seriously, what is the advantage here? given the very real risk that someone can cancel on you, or simply make you feel creeped out, why would i choose this over reliable commercial accommodations when traveling thousands of miles? cheap hotels are just fine, and they don't cancel reservations on a whim.
