Airbnb Pros & Cons
In this episode, I explore the pros and cons of renting an Airbnb while traveling. From immersing in local culture by staying in neighborhood settings to enjoying more space and cost savings for groups, Airbnb offers unique benefits. However, there are potential downsides like misleading photos, unexpected amenities, and cultural misunderstandings. I share real-life experiences of challenges with accommodations to help you make informed decisions when choosing Airbnb rentals.

    Hi Sean! We are traveling to Italy (Rome, Florence, and Milan) this April. Instead of using our credit cards to buy tickets for public transportation in Rome (Metro, Bus, Tram), can we simply tap our physical credit card or use Apple Pay on our iPhone or Apple Watch at the gantries of Metro stations or on the Tap & Go machines on buses and trams?

    • @travelwithsean4093
      @travelwithsean4093 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Great question! Yes, you can use contactless (tapping credit card or using Apple Pay) to buy public transport tickets. When you arrive in Rome, you’ll likely be at Termini Station. If you can’t get the kiosk to work for you, then you can go to the ticket office. I’m not 100% sure about purchasing tickets on the bus. Be on high alert for pickpockets in Termini, especially if there is a crowd pushing to get on the metro. I have a video about that. th-cam.com/video/mpg4cCpgKU0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kof3_J4sPjMt5-PW

    We find reviewing the comments from past renters invaluable in weeding out the poor Airbnbs which are misrepresented or have hosts which are not on the ball. We have been very satisfied renting places with a high review rating and past customer comments help us to know what to expect. Do you have a preferance in renting through Airbnb or VRBO?

    • @travelwithsean4093
      @travelwithsean4093 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      We are accustomed to using Airbnb and we also read comments and look at the pictures. There was one time when we didn’t do that and it turns out that the host was using neighboring rooms on that floor for his employees who go up very early and made a lot of noise getting ready. We were surprised by the apartment that was so small. We felt duped. Neither the pictures nor the comments gave an accurate description. The host was helpful and had her dad pick us up from the train station because it was raining. When we have negative experiences, we generally do not leave a comment.

      I’ve never cared for snakes either, but from a Christian historical perspective, they have represented evil and that’s how St. Ambrose wrote and spoke of them. I think it’s because of the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
