When choosing a place to stay the night, be it in the middle of a busy city like KL or a tranquil town away from the hustle and bustle, many might get confused on which one is a better option: an Airbnb or a hotel. While hotels are popularly known for their luxurious and elegant surroundings, Airbnb is better suited for those who seek one-of-a-kind experience—but, don’t get fooled as just like hotels, many Airbnb nowadays can also offer you a luxurious stay.
