Crazy Low? Extremely Low? Nahhhhh.... The price tips AirBnB keeps hurling at us are effing Insanely Low. Their pirce tips are less than half of what I charge, and our rates are extremely fair.
You get what you pay for.... Conversely, you pay for what you get. And with me, you get a meticulously clean, well appointed apartment, at a very reasonable price. If you want to pay less than half of what we charge, you'll need to get back in your car... drive across the river... to that run-down former Travel Lodge filled with Roaches, Bed Bugs, Crappy Furnishings, Crack Whores, Drug Dealers, Pan Handlers, Theives, and the sound of the Interstate lulling you to sleep like the sound of Ocean Waves crashing on the passing Big Rigs and cars.
The rates AirBnB suggests aren't enough to make me get out of bed in the morning, let alone Scrub Toilets, Press Sheets, and rewash every Glass, Plate, Bowl, Cup, Mug, Pot, Pan, Knive, Fork, Spatula, Spoon, Tupperware Container, Frying Pan, Skillet, Collander, Cutting Board, Coffee Maker, Tea Kettle, Toaster and wineglass that was spotless before they arrived, and put back where they belong encrusted with grease, food, lipstick, and crud by some guest who is happy to have a full kitchen at their disposal.
I've worked far too hard putting together warm, welcoming, well appointed spaces, and put in far too much time cleaning those spaces between guests, to be insulted by AirBnB and their effing Insane Price Tips.
My competition isn't the rat trap across the river, or the hovel down the highway. My competiton is the hard working host who goes above and beyond to insure that their guests have an enjoyable time, and understands the value of what he or she has to offer, and isn't going to prostitute themself to make a living.
You can keep your price tips AirBnB. STOP insulting us, and asking us to act like whores.
