CNN has a very lengthy article on Airbnb that is worth a read.  It certainly is eye opening.  I have never used them and prefer to stick to hotels.  At the very least I don't have a list of clean up duties, prior to checking out. 

Here is a small excerpt from the article.  I didn't link the article, as I don't think that's allowed.  However,  you can fo a search to read the entire article.

Me and my daughter stayed in one when we vacationed in Scotland.  They would be bored taping us!

Gosh, these hidden AIRBnB cameras were hidden inside the Smoke Detector, inside Night Stand Radio/Clock & inside even in Electrical plugs.  From what I could see, they were totally hidden.  I dont see how anyone would even be able to guess where they were.   Go figure.  

     On one interview, the hidden camera recorded one husband & his wife intimately together.  Yikes.  Supposedly, hidden cameras in the bedroom are illegal.  who knows.

WOW!😮 I have used ABNB's several times, and NEVER considered this but it has been in the news lately, so I will DEFINITELY be more mindful the next time I need one!😁

~~~All we need is LOVE 💖

Yet another reason I will never use this "service."

Any hotel or motel can do the same thing and has.

And when the customer alerted AirBnB, they didn't contact law enforcement, but did contact the host who can then eliminate the evidence.

Airbnb's are NOT for people like me.  When I am on vacay, I want to be "catered" to.....room service, housekeeping, etc.  Otherwise, if I am cleaning up after myself, cooking, etc., I might as well have stayed hone!

I can live out of a suitcase in a hotel or cruise ship anywhere in the world.
