    After having my honeymoon practically ruined by an owner’s insane rules (posted EVERYWHERE throughout the place), I’ve vowed to never use an Airbnb again. Plus the junk fees are fucking insane.

    Give me a proper hotel with proper service any day of the week.

      Oh yeah, the condescending “please unplug me when done!” signs near the toaster… or trying to use the hot tub and having to read pages of stuff just to get in some warm water. We stayed at one once that made us add conditioning tablets to the hot tub at a certain time each day. Nah, this is your house, you fucking take care of it, I just want to use it.
