I hope they aren't paying to take care of someone's dog.
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

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
