6 Reasons Airbnbs are Better than Hotels

In This Article:

Hotels are a pain in the butt. They're expensive and it's hard to find one that has a great location plus everything you need at a great price. It's time to ditch the hotels and start using Airbnb.

1. Price

For the price of a hotel you can rent a whole house. Why pay more for a room when you can get a whole house? Also you can rent a bedroom at a house usually between $30-$50 which is way cheaper than even most motels.

2. The Amenities

At a hotel you sometimes get a dinky hair dryer and a coffee maker. If you're really lucky you might get a microwave or minifridge. With Airbnb you can rent a place that has a whole kitchen you can use and a hair dryer that won't take you all morning to dry your hair with.

3. Personalized Filters

Hotels are pretty standard when it comes to what they have to offer. With Airbnb though you can personalize your experience and find a place that usually fits all your needs and desires. With all the different filters you can apply to your search it is so much easier to find the perfect place to stay at.

4. You're Helping Everyday People

Staying at a hotel you're only giving money to someone who already has so much. By staying in an Airbnb you're helping a family be able to make extra money or help a college kid afford their basic needs. It's like shopping in a local store rather than a nationwide chain store.

5. Check In Is A Breeze

There is no waiting in lines, there's no waiting for a room to be ready, at most places you just show up and that is the extent to checking in. It allows you to relax and get down to business a lot sooner than most hotels.

6. There Usually Aren't Other Guests

With Airbnb you can choose to book at a place where it will just be you staying there. It's very relaxing to be able to come back to a place and have it feel like you're basically at home.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
