I’ve used Airbnb a few times, for places to stay in France, Italy and by the beach in Kenya when I haven’t wanted a hotel stay. First reason is convenience - there’s generally a lot of choice on one platform. Second is it’s easy to filter by ratings so you have a reasonable data set of experiences to go on. Third is flexibility because you can choose the length of stay, whereas traditional villas/gives/cottages tend to be tied to week booking. Fourth is the range of properties on there to compare. Fifth there’s always comeback/chargeback via Airbnb if you’re not happy, though I’ve not had a disappointing experience yet and I’m pretty fussy about the standard of places :)
Like all things, I’m sure there are cheaper ways of doing it at times, but the convenience has a value as well.
