6 Reasons Airbnbs are Better than Hotels

Hotels are a pain in the butt. They're expensive and it's hard to find one that has a great location plus everything you need at a great price. It's time to ditch the hotels and start using Airbnb.

1. Price

For the price of a hotel you can rent a whole house. Why pay more for a room when you can get a whole house? Also you can rent a bedroom at a house usually between $30-$50 which is way cheaper than even most motels.

2. The Amenities

At a hotel you sometimes get a dinky hair dryer and a coffee maker. If you're really lucky you might get a microwave or minifridge. With Airbnb you can rent a place that has a whole kitchen you can use and a hair dryer that won't take you all morning to dry your hair with.

3. Personalized Filters

https://www.google.com/search?q=airbnb+filters&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwicsLXMr4vcAhUMJHwKHawuB6YQ_AUICigB&biw=926&bih=740&dpr=1.13#imgrc=3EMyxPLTbehwvM:

Hotels are pretty standard when it comes to what they have to offer. With Airbnb though you can personalize your experience and find a place that usually fits all your needs and desires. With all the different filters you can apply to your search it is so much easier to find the perfect place to stay at.

4. You're Helping Everyday People

https://www.google.com/search?q=airbnb+filters&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwicsLXMr4vcAhUMJHwKHawuB6YQ_AUICigB&biw=926&bih=740&dpr=1.13#imgrc=3EMyxPLTbehwvM:

Staying at a hotel you're only giving money to someone who already has so much. By staying in an Airbnb you're helping a family be able to make extra money or help a college kid afford their basic needs. It's like shopping in a local store rather than a nationwide chain store.

5. Check In Is A Breeze

https://www.google.com/search?biw=934&bih=740&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=B9k_W9ikCpPe8AOEj6aoBQ&q=airbnb+host&oq=airbnb+host&gs_l=img.3..0l10.33372.35665.0.35754.13.10.0.0.0.0.235.882.2-4.4.0....0...1c.1.64.img..9.4.879.0..35i39k1j0i67k1.0.eyON1FD8aSw#imgrc=n0_xo92rHNyumM:

There is no waiting in lines, there's no waiting for a room to be ready, at most places you just show up and that is the extent to checking in. It allows you to relax and get down to business a lot sooner than most hotels.

6. There Usually Aren't Other Guests

With Airbnb you can choose to book at a place where it will just be you staying there. It's very relaxing to be able to come back to a place and have it feel like you're basically at home.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
