Yeah this. It's funny because IIRC that was the original point of AirBnB; like renting a bed in someone's house.
It was and it was awesome. They were there in the property, so they could give you the low down of the area and make recommendations. Generally awesome friendly people, as you kinda have to be to let strangers stay in your place.
Also they would just clean the place like normal people when you left, not needing to hire cleaners like a small illegal hotel business for property investors.
ok that's great and all but

Capitalist screeching intensifies
Stayed at house in Colorado where the guy would make drinks and food for the multiple groups staying there. He invited us to have some barbecue and he fed his chickens while we chilled in his backyard.
What a different experience that is to these F tier hotel rooms.
BnB means Bed and Breakfast. And, yes, originally a "bed and breakfast" was renting a room in someone's house, and they made breakfast for you in the morning before you left.
That's what a normal b&b is. A Bed & Breakfast means they make you the breakfast.
Oh yeah, I've stayed in them before. I only added the "IIRC" because I was too lazy to look up a source to backup saying they were originally just for BnBs and I didn't want to accidentally spread misinformation in the off-chance I was wrong lol
