>tell everyone you're a friend, it's not allowed in this building but everyone's doing it" . I had the same bullshit happen to me a month ago in Hawaii. More specifically the owner waited for the period where I can cancel to be over before demanding that (among other rules which were reasonable). When I did not answer his message (I was considering my options, I have no intention to lie for a stranger), he contacted airbnb support who contacted me. I explained that asking me to lie for him was ridiculous and I that I was ok with a full cancellation. The airbnb support then pressured me to keep the reservation. The vacation was awesome but this place was pretty meh. The same kind of issues happened later in Los Angeles. That's just anecdotal, but I feel that the quality of the experience on Airbnb has really worsened for me in the past 1 or 2 years. Too many people that (poorly) operate multiple airbnbs at the same time. As far as I am concerned, hotels are back as my plan A. The prices are comparable with Airbnb in most cases and the experience is WAY less of a headache (no need to search for the keys for 2 hours because the owner tries to hide that there is an airbnb there ...).
