Revised

I plan to go to Tokyo in September, I think many students will go traveling during the summer. I prefer to go on a trip in September. This time I would like to choose AirBNB in Tokyo, just 10 mins ago, I saw a news that in Qingdao, a tourist went to a hotel and they found a little camera in the AirBNB hotel. Maybe there will be some dangers/ it’s a little dangerous  when you choose private hotels. I think I will prefer to choose AirBNB than a big/local hotel, because my husband, my mother and I will go to Tokyo together. In a normal hotel, the room is not big enough for 4 of us, because we have 4 people. I looked up some rooms in AirBNB and some owners insist “we should meet them in person“. I think they might want to meet the tourists so the tourists will be more careful to their house/ will take care of the rooms better. I have a friend in Tokyo, she lives in a shared house, maybe I will visit her in the shared house.
