In cities yes. It still is unparalleled for renting small holiday homes in "rural" areas. E.g. Scottish Highlands, French Brittany.

That is the proper use case, where you would otherwise book an other B&B.

Indeed, I've used airbnb several times now to rent a vacation home in the French/Belgian/German countryside. For that it's great. Cheaper than renting a bungalow somewhere and you have more space.
