We once stayed at an Airbnb in Florida. The property owners were not local. They had an employee come give us an orientation to the house upon check in. During the check-in he had us read the electric meter. When we left we had to read the meter again. The electric rate was in the rental contract so it became part of our final bill. It was a little strange but it made sense that we would pay for what we used.
🤣 I really, really don't get the appeal of airbnb... It's like the worst part of homeownership, while also paying hotel prices. From cleaning rooms to now paying for electricity... What is even the point? Not to mention whenever I check the prices they are basically on par with hotels. Absolutely bananas.
We had two families staying at a house with a pool. We had a kitchen and plenty of room for everyone. I still think it makes sense in certain cases. The extra electric charge at this property was out of the ordinary, but I suspect the pool had a heater which used a lot of power.
