Have taxi cabs started embracing apps yet? The best thing about Uber/Lyft when they started was that you didn't have to make an actual phone call to a company and request a cab and then be told to wait ~30 mins for one to show up.

I say this as a partier who used cabs weekly for over a decade.

That being said, agreed on the hotel. I only use Airbnbs for group trips where we're all trying to stay together. If it's my husband and I, I'll rack up those Hilton Honors points while not needing to do anything pre-check out please (though we never leave the room gross. Trash is always left in the trashcans and the used towels are always in the bathroom specifically).
