    Cleaning fees are just overhead on staying now. But if you don’t tidy your rating will take a hit.

    It’s a scam coming and going. But it’s often cheaper and with more selection on location. The last two, I think, are really what keeps them around.

      Ability to zero in on location is definitely the thing that keeps me on the platform. I can’t say its always cheaper, it maybe in some cases but its often equal or higher than a budget hotel in my experience. The fact that I can get a unit with a kitchen and within walking distance of a few of my planned vacation activities is the reason I check it out.
