There's a reason hotels have to follow laws and regulations we don't have to at home. I feel much safer going to an actual hotel / B&B / etc than the sketchy appartments-turn-hostels you can find on AirBnB. We've just had an horrific fire last week in an historical building in Old Montreal that was illegally converted to AirBnBs. Rooms with no windows, no fire alarms, no exits. 7 people died. The landlord and the tenant are running multiple AirBnB rentals in subdivided appartments that don't follow building code and fire safety regulations.
