This is exactly the appeal of an Airbnb for me. Solo traveling a hotel is adequate, bit with a family having the extra space and kitchen is a game changer. Not to mention the individual charm of staying in a unique spot vs staying on a corporate decorated to the lowest common denominator hotel room.
This is something I consistently see overlooked in these discussions. I don’t dispute that it increases prices for locals and there needs to be some balance, but hotels are not offering anything close to Airbnb’s for a large section of travelers.
It’s huge. With a large family (or given recent inflation of pricings for eating out a small family) you can stay for an extra day or two with the savings from cooking some meals at your accomodations.
