I feel that pre- and during covid, if you were renting a place on airbnb from a non-pro host you had a good chance to get a nice well kept place. Specifically because people did what you describe: split off a place, or rent out inherited property. Post-covid, it feels like everyone puts their place for rent for exorbitant amounts of money, rents a cheaper place for themselves for the duration - more of a hustle? Not sure if that makes sense.
For me personally, it takes me much longer now to find a good place for a good price than 4-5 years ago. Also because I rent for 1-3 months often.

We've found 4-6 weeks is a sweet spot.
As a host or as a guest?
4 weeks is too little for me because I'd lose too much time to travel, especially if I have some gigs in the middle, so for me, 4-5 weeks is the exception... twice a year maybe as a bridging solution. I've personally found that 3x3 months and then some time between them filled with a vacay, and some gig work where I don't have a base and kindly request to dump my suitcase with family or friends for a few weeks works best.
