I’m Portuguese, Airbnb “crappy clean before you leave” and 600$ fees haven’t caught up yet luckily.
Last time I used a Airbnb was in 2016, rented a room on S. Miguel (main Azorean Island) for a fair price.
Since then I mostly just book hotels wherever I go, be it Europe or abroad.
In Europe, because it’s just easier, often times cheaper, more flexible check-in/check-out and doesn’t have the language barrier like you said.
And abroad because I just don’t feel as comfortable and it’s expensive
