I used to heavily use AirBnB. I no longer do. I don't even bother checking it. The quality of experience / stay has gone down, and the price has gone up considerably. I now expect that an AirBnB will provide a worse experience for the same or higher cost than a hotel in any location I might travel to. The only benefit an AirBnB brings is that it may provide more square footage, but this is not worth the tradeoff when traveling solo or with my wife, it only comes into account when traveling with large groups where shared accommodations would be acceptable. I have a large double-digit number of stays with AirBnB over the years, and I don't even go to their website or app anymore.
A good example is over the summer, we had an AirBnB for my wife and my step-daughter and I in Rome for a few nights. We had so many issues that when we came back through Rome on our way back home I booked a 5-star luxury hotel. The hotel ended up being cheaper than the AirBnB when you count the tacked on fees, and had none of the issues we experienced, although there was less total square footage. It was in a better location as well, and the AirBnB was far from a luxury 5-star experience. I typically stay in 2-star or 3-star lodgings when I travel, and AirBnBs are now typically worse than a 2-star offer, but charging higher than 5-star prices. It's ridiculous.
