I'm very worried AirBNB type services will replace standard renting in the same way Uber almost replaced taxis. So many reasons to avoid them.
This was a possibility at a time when AirBNBs were significantly cheaper than hotels but now that prices have gone way up I'm right back to going for hotels. Not worth going through the trouble of not knowing what to expect / what kind of renter you'll be dealing with when there's no price incentive anymore.
Uber is still significantly cheaper and more convenient than a cab for me.
