I've recently used airbnb services for the first time, I stayed in Pasadena, the apartment was nice and everything but the ceiling fan was installed below safety height of 7', when I was taking off my shirt before going to sleep the spinning fan blade hit my arm pretty badly and broke down falling a feet away from my toddler son, host charged me 160$ (for a fan blade) for the damage and I had to pay it even thought I think host should be responsible for the injuries that your unsafe conditions cause. Airbnb was on host's side stating that I am responsible for damage, but think about it, what if host's apartment has some electric or other problems - will I be also responsible for damages that unsafe installation caused to their apartment? I will not use airbnb services anymore because of that one awful experience I had. The overnight stay that was suppose to save me money - turned into a much more expensive and quite painful experience than what a hotel could have offered me.
