Airbnb as a hotel replacement is not worth it. It's good for people who are just looking for a place to crash at night when they are traveling. It can save them tons of money vs hotel while not having to share rooms like in a hostel.

Airbnb is more about the experience. Say you are heading to a small town where hotels are located in the busier part of town. Thus, by using Airbnb (which gives you access to local residential area), you can experience the town in a different perspective.
