The only time it seems reasonable to use AirBnb is when you’re traveling with a large group to a set destination; then you can rent a whole house and split up chores. Otherwise, you wind up paying just slightly less to stay in a place without service, meals, concierge etc usually far away from any attractions you might be interested in. I haven’t personally had any bad AirBnB experiences, but hotels have so many advantages and aren’t all that costly.
