Just Gonna Say It: Airbnbs These Days Are Just As Expensive As Hotels But With Chores To Boot

If there’s one thing I don’t wanna do on holiday, it’s clean. I’m here to unwind, relax, maybe escape my life for a bit. Pretend I am actually an influencer on their weekly holiday with not a care in the world. Responsibilities? I don’t know her. Nothing kills that sexy fantasy more than having to wash the dishes before bed (the worst chore). When I book an Airbnb, I cop it. I mean, that’s kinda the point, right? You forego the luxuries of room service for the sake of having a cheaper stay with more character. It’s also a less formal setting, and you can find some pretty convenient locations rather than just CBDs. Maybe a hotel room will magically clean itself while I’m out to brunch, but I can book an Airbnb that’s stylish AF and cheaper. All I have to do is clean up after myself, right? Wrong. Because these days Airbnbs cost just as much as hotels and lemme tell ya, I am not paying that much to be my own maid!!!! Imagine paying to clean, couldn’t be me (anymore).

Hotels are FUN. Room service, bars, poolside drinks, a concierge, and no chores. Airbnb is just housesitting for someone you don’t know and you have to pay them.
