Airbnb is blacklisted for me, I have had numerous problems with them as a service and with the shitty people that tend to put their homes on that platform.
Last Airbnb I booked resulted in a elderly Hispanic couple walking in on my SO and I in the act because apparently they double booked us by a couple days and use the same door code for all guests.
Just another example of a tech darling “disrupting” an existing industry by ignoring regulation and refusing to provide customer service.

- rdtwo 5y agoYeah they seem to reuse hotel door keys idk why but I’ve had it happen too
- post_from_work 5y agoFrom the outside looking in, that story is hilarious. This whole thread gives me pause to ever rent out my mother's property via AirBnB though. I think I will look for a reputable property management company and long-term renters instead.
- diveanon 5y agoHonestly if it was just the walk in it would be, the couple was pretty funny about it. However they were effectively without a place to stay at 11pm in NYC during the winter. They managed to book a hotel, but it was an awkward 2 hours to say the least while they called around. What really set me off was that the door code was just completely public, so anyone that had stayed there in the past who knows how long could just walk right in. Airbnb is a shit show and a huge step backwards in the name of progress. Not even touching how they have royally fucked the renters markets in a lot of areas.
