Sheesh.

This makes me happy about two things. One, that it's actually pretty hard to find much information about me on the net, and two, that I'm really, really happy that I don't use Airbnb.

Airbnb went from cheaper than hotels and generally less BS, to way more BS and way more expensive than hotels. I now yearn for the simplicity of a boring hotel chain. Check in and check out are easy (and consistent). The room is private. The pricing is transparent. The process for cleaning and other standard housing maintenance tasks is invisible.

How does this not explicitly violate the ADA?

My go-to is Wyndham properties. They have a good app and great loyalty rewards.
