Why are cleaning fees so high on Airbnb?
Not only does the host clean up before guests arrive and after guests leave, they also do all the cleaning while the guest is there. This is time consuming. Besides which, airbnb gets a cut of whatever a host rents for the room, so adding on a cleaning fee is a (in my opinion fair) way that hosts make extra money.
Can you eat the food in an Airbnb?
Can you eat the food at Airbnb? Generally yes but it depends on whether it's purely a rental home or someone's home they're renting out while they're away. If it's purely a rental home, I usually eat whatever's there because they're probably leftover from previous guests.

Does Airbnb Superhost stay with you?
