According to research, the primary reason is to “feel like a local” and get a taste of the community life during their visits. These rental units are usually spread out in the community, unlike hotels which usually are located in clusters near business districts or tourist attractions. Although in some cities, private accommodations could cost more than hotel rooms, for the most part; staying in private accommodations could save money. In fact, most private rental units are now for the entire property, often housing large travel parties. Travelers can also prepare their own meals in the rental units and save on dining out expenses.

In addition to leisure visitors, business travelers, and convention attendees appreciate the same benefits of staying at private homes and are contributing to the growth of this accommodation sector. This is especially true when large conventions and events are held and traditional hotels don’t have enough rooms or increase their rates significantly due to high demand.
