You went by a "vibe" they wanted you to believe instead of the fact that you pay hotel rates to stay at these houses?

I thought the point was (at least initially) that you’re not paying hotel rates

The only way I ever saw a savings was by getting a lesser experience in terms of location, amenities, privacy, predictability, etc.

I find you get more space & amenities for the same price, but it's not much - if any - cheaper.
