People rent out their extra house/apartment as Airbnb, it's pretty much the same as the renting a furnished apartment for short term
I get renting a house because it's more comfortable than a motel/hotel for people. If I wanted to stay in an apartment I'd get a hotel/motel room, they are similar.
Not really. Maybe in America, where hotel rooms are nice. In Europe, there are four star hotels that don't even have a refrigerator. I've been to some. An apartment is like a "suite", with a living room, at least one bedroom, refrigerator and cooking amenities, a sofa, etc. They're also often cheaper. Availability is also an issue in some places (e.g. there's tons of apartments in a great location in Athens).
Downside is that there are no services (like laundry or baggage storage), and that in some countries they demand a picture of your passport. That's why I mostly avoid them now.
I see your point. It just seems kinda low brow to me where a house isn't.
Welcome to Europe.
A house like the one in the Simpsons is like a dream house for many Europeans, even outside major cities.
Maybe Airbnb prices for apartments are more cost effective or have better location than what the hotels are offering, sometimes in big metropolitan cities apartments are the only thing available 🤷
