We were surprised when the host messaged us about fees related to check-in times after having confirmed our booking. It also seemed weird when they insisted on inspecting the room for broken items when we left. We were dismayed when we realized it was the kind of Airbnb that is more like a hotel—that is— people don’t actually live there, and as travelers we were inadvertently contributing to gentrification and increased rent prices. This place lacked the warmth of a “real” Airbnb in someone’s actual home or apartment, and it also lacked the amenities of a hotel. Finally, it’s pretty far from the city center and there was virtually no free or paid street parking available.
