Is It Cheaper to Stay in an Airbnb ‘Entire Home’ Rental or a Hotel?
The majority of my experience comes from staying in NYC for 3-4 days. I stayed in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and each time I compared prices of AirBnB and hotels. AirBnB always won. Getting a room (with access to kitchen) instead of a whole apartment makes the difference even bigger.
Apart from the price, having access to a kitchen is a huge plus to me because I do not want to spend on eating out all the time. Eating out is much more expensive than cooking at home (not only in NYC). This should be taken into account too while doing the price comparison.
