I stopped using airbnb long ago.... hotels can be around the same price too

And you're not expected to do half the laundry, the dishes, and still pay a cleaning fee.

Obviously I won't trash the room, but if I'm paying a cleaning fee, I will not be cleaning...

The places I've stayed are just:

  1. Put used sheets on the floor
  2. Put dishes in the dishwasher
  3. Take out the trash

I do that anyway while staying there, except for the sheets (takes very little time), and I would probably do it anyway even if not asked (though I'd keep the sheets on the bed) because that's just common decency imo.

When I stay at hotels or rent cars, I do essentially the same thing, and I usually leave a tip because I know the cleaning staff get paid very little.

Same, and they usually don't want me to do anything to the bed. Trash on the way out and didn't be a pig.

There was a very out in the open camera in the living room of an Airbnb that I stayed in once and I really didn't care for it and hadn't noticed it in the listing. But, it was a basement suite of a family's own house and I guess they were just concerned. I started looking for that more specifically but glad to hear Airbnb banned them completely.

Yeah, I think I've only seen a camera inside once or twice, and only in the living room/dining room. Hotels do the same in common areas like hallways and dining areas. It's still not great, but it's at least understandable.
