You're comparing the average to the minimum. That's deceptive and unfair.

The average hotel room in SF costs hundreds of dollars a night. [0] So the average hotel is much more expensive than the average AirBnB.

Likewise, I showed countless examples of AirBnBs which have a lower price than the cheapest hotel you could find.

If both the average and the minimum for AirBnB is much lower than for hotels, we can safely conclude that AirBnB is substantially cheaper.

As a frequent traveler, I know that to be a fact. I would love if hotels were cheaper than AirBnB (I prefer them), but it's objectively not true.
