Airbnb tends to be my go-to option for lodging these days and probably accounts for 80-90% of our overnights. I'm fully on-board with municipalities restricting/banning airbnb from their jurisdictions as they see fit. I don't like how landlords are taking their properties out of the long-term rental pool in favor of going the airbnb route. These days, we actually tend toward staying at owner-occupied airbnbs, as opposed to owner-absent &quot;whole house&quot; rentals. I think that is more in keeping with the original &quot;sharing&quot; spirit and amateur nature of airbnb.</p> <img src="https://michaelscepaniak.com/cdn/log-blog.png?u=%2F2010s%2Fhow-to-find-choose-and-book-airbnbs%2Ffeed%2F&amp;s=200"> 2019-10-18T17:10:04Z2019-10-18T17:10:04Z https://michaelscepaniak.com/2010s/how-to-find-choose-and-book-airbnbs/#comment-832895 Derek Falzoi <p>Finally got around to finishing this blog! Appreciate the detail and weighing out the pros/cons of the Airbnb. As a frequent traveler, do you prefer Airbnb, and how often do you say you Airbnb compared with more traditional lodging? What are your thoughts of &quot;illegal&quot; Airbnb's in dense cities like NYC? Thanks again for the quality piece.</p> 2018-04-07T15:29:13Z2018-04-07T15:29:13Z https://michaelscepaniak.com/2010s/how-to-find-choose-and-book-airbnbs/#comment-806090 Michael Scepaniak <p>Awesome, Bob!

I like how you broke up the experiences in those grey boxes. Very easy to read and entertaining content. I just stayed in an airbnb in Napa Valley, CA and it was a great experience, but I'll use these tips while booking in the future.</p>
