arent Airbnbs supposed to be kinda like hotel or resort getaways? Why the hell would they come with a dog? That's rather unprofessional.

The og concept of airbnb is short term rental of your room for your own house, it only become these hotel thing afterward. It also help driving up rental and house value to unaffordable level.

I think some AirBNB options let you just rent a room in an otherwise occupied house. I’ve never done that, but pretty sure that’s the case.

It is literally how the company started. It was supposed to be flat-sharing platform. Not sure where it all went to shit.

If I was sleeping in a strangers home my door would be shut regardless of the dog. And either locked or with luggage/ furniture in front of it. Just in case Kevin wasn't a dog. ..

So it asking your customers to do laundry and take put the garbage but that hasn't stopped them.

Because Airbnb's still have their advancedes in some areas. It really just depends on what my ultimate goal is.

I've never seen a hotel that does the laundry for the guests, why would that be seen as unprofessional? Its literally your job to clean your own clothes.

They mean cleaning the sheets you slept on and towels you used.
