YMMV, have a great time.
Air B&B hosts I found have usually had a 'Profit' need / motive, so it is more business like, yet without the service / safety / facilities of a hotel. My Air B&B is usually far less of a pleasant experience than using a conventional B&B, which has a reputation and business to protect, and they are actually in the 'hospitality industry'.

My limited AirBNBs(2) were both fine - and more advantageous than a hotel. Sure I would prefer a nice hotel but I can't pay $400/night for my 4 person family to stay in a Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, etc in the part of town I want.
Not sure of our expectations but it I found it to meet and in one case exceed my expectations.
