Charlotte's leisure tourism growth means more and more people are visiting the city. They may also be in town for any number of events, like a wedding or the Truist Championship.

Why it matters: Not everyone wants to stay in a hotel block.

My thought bubble: While my fiancé and I recommended several hotels for people to stay at for our wedding, most of our guests have opted for Airbnbs.

Here are 10 Airbnbs in Charlotte to suggest the next time someone asks you where to stay but says they'd prefer not to stay in a hotel.
