They have a large problem of "hosts" being businesses, and not individual people.
I booked an apartment in Dublin with "Johnny", but upon paying for the booking, discovered it was a company called "City Break Apartments Limited" who required a large deposit upon check-in.
Nowhere in the advert was any indication the host was a company.
