It's probably a deal where you're getting a room in someone else's house for very cheap but they still live there.
Yeah this. It's funny because IIRC that was the original point of AirBnB; like renting a bed in someone's house.
It was and it was awesome. They were there in the property, so they could give you the low down of the area and make recommendations. Generally awesome friendly people, as you kinda have to be to let strangers stay in your place.
Also they would just clean the place like normal people when you left, not needing to hire cleaners like a small illegal hotel business for property investors.
ok that's great and all but

Capitalist screeching intensifies
Stayed at house in Colorado where the guy would make drinks and food for the multiple groups staying there. He invited us to have some barbecue and he fed his chickens while we chilled in his backyard.
What a different experience that is to these F tier hotel rooms.
BnB means Bed and Breakfast. And, yes, originally a "bed and breakfast" was renting a room in someone's house, and they made breakfast for you in the morning before you left.
That's what a normal b&b is. A Bed & Breakfast means they make you the breakfast.
Oh yeah, I've stayed in them before. I only added the "IIRC" because I was too lazy to look up a source to backup saying they were originally just for BnBs and I didn't want to accidentally spread misinformation in the off-chance I was wrong lol
Agreed, but on the flip side I hope that somebody was taking care of the dog. People do that? Just leave pets in their bnb with strangers?
Most airbnbs that I've stayed at were also occupied by the people who owned the place. It's been a while since I've booked one, but that used to be the default. The most privacy you'd ever really see was a separate entrance to your part of the house. Usually you'd just go in through the front door and sleep in the guest bedroom next to the homeowner's master bedroom.
It's not unheard of for an Airbnb to have outdoor cats around the property, but I certainly never heard of dogs staying in with the guests.
It's probably in the garden on a leash or something and will try to hump all the moving things
Meanwhile, Kevin:
This is exactly why I advocate for human names for dogs.
I want more dog names for people.
"Excuse me, Scruffy? Scruffy Jones? Doctor Sprinkles will see you now."
Boilers and toilets, toilets and boilers.
And if course that one boiling toilet. Fire me ifn ya dare.
Keeps the seat warm! Keeps your keister toasty! Turns your stool into soup in record time!
I hope they fall in love during that appointment, eventually get married and the onetime patient is overjoyed to be Scruffy Sprinkles forever.
Unfortunately, with a name like that, something’s got to separate them, because old Scruffy is definitely an adventurer of some sort; I’m thinking a barbarian, but I could also see a very grim wizard or hexblade warlock. He’s going to have to go on a quest to find her, find an ingredient or medication for her to distribute, or avenge her, there’s no avoiding it.
It's all discrimination I tell you!
A small dog crawls in unsuspecting girl's bed and it's all cute and funny and hahahah and aaawww of course he can stay
But if I do that, its all screaming and all of the sudden police has to get involved
Discrimination, i tell ya!
Adult-themed Animorph books would kill.
Isn't that the werewolf part of Twilight?
Ha ha ha. Kevin is the only sort of dude I would sleep in the same bed with.
Kevin is a Great Dane with restless legs and he farts all nights.
Eh, I've slept with worse...
I mean, you've basically described me minus the great Dane part.
No one is perfect.
Be careful. He's been known to make entire families disappear.
Cynical me was thinking that if the guest said something salacious instead, the property owner would call themselves Kevin ... Schroedinger's threesome
Classic Kevin…
