Anyway, my searches recently for accommodations for a family of 4 haven’t resulted in any great savings vs a hotel.

I guess I also prefer the corporatey-ness. I don’t feel quite so upset about accidentally flooding a hotel bathroom because I didn’t pull the shower curtain all the way than if it was someone’s own condo or whatever.
I've found Air BnB is now only good when you want a larger place that can sleep more than a standard hotel room. Even then, I prefer VRBO for that sort of thing. All the admin, cleaning, surtax, etc fees don't really make it cheaper anymore and even when we use it for larger groups I do feel a bit guilty around the neighbourhood - I'm a clear import that no one really wants around much.
