I personally hate to stay in a normal hotel. I like to have a kitchen to cook my own meals with fresh produce. Now, in some countries, I do often eat out because they have delicious food, like Spain, France, Italy, Greeceโ€ฆ I also donโ€™t like in the hotels that it is loud! Either from people talking loud on the corridor, cleaning ladies or gentlemen shouting at each other at 7 am, or the damn air conditioning systems they have. You can also canโ€™t make the room completely dark, as I like it. We sometimes find an aparthotel, which is fine.

I do agree that AirBnb sucks because they make cities more expensive for the locals, but we generally do not go to the big cities, we rather stay in the countryside and make a day trip if we want to see a big city. I think a good option is how they do it in France with their small gรฎtes, where they rent a mini apartment in their courtyard. I stayed in several like these and it was lovely. And the owner did not bother us. They make it a bit private. I this is a good option that would not affect the housing market, since they would probably not rent it long term, having it so close to their home.
