Fair enough. You're right about me wanting to avoid interacting with people, especially when tipping is involved. But keep in mind, many people travel with others and airbnb is still a better option if you want to party a bit or have kids. Can't beat a private pool at an airbnb house or to entertain guests at a fancy airbnb.

Some of us also like not having to check every lamp and decoration in a bedroom/bathroom wondering if there's hidden cameras in it placed there by the "host"
