Yes. I am not sure what to think of Airbnb. It was useful in Hungary when I had to find a cheap place last minute, but in New York I had luggage stolen by some bnb'rs renting a room in the building (the tenants would leave their baggage in an alcove in the hallway since we trusted each other to not take it). It can be disruptive.
