Pros & Cons: Airbnb vs. VRBO
Greetings all:
After consulting with the experts here, this is a thread to discuss travelers experiences/issues with VRBO vs. Airbnb (positive or negative including avoid properties). These issues could be anything including but not limited to the following:
- booking process,
- phantom listings,
- fees,
- property condition,
- amenities,
- etc.
Now that many of us traveling with kids, staying longer, or for whatever reason such a data base is much needed. In Europe for instance, you usually get very small accommodations for a huge sum that you cannot fit more than 2 people comfortably in a room. Thus, this conversation is needed.
I will start with our 5 Airbnb experiences in Italy in the summer of 2021. And will contrast them with several failures dealing with VRBO in planning our upcoming summer 2022 Spain/Portugal vacation.
YOU, OTOH, can list ANY and all experiences with rental properties anywhere!
