Airbnb is a roll of the dice every time. No idea if it will be canceled the day of, the quality inside, hostile neighbors. We only use Airbnb for rural places without hotels, where our money is appreciated and there aren’t other options. In cities, hotels of known quality are just as expensive and much more reliable.

Last Airbnb our host stalked us and mentioned us having 3 guests not 2, and gave us shit for dirt on the carpet in the entrance

  I had a similar experience. The host offered a free photo shoot for staying at her house, which was a weird perk but hey…whatever. While we stayed there she watched the camera and counted each person who went in the house, and then claimed we threw a party (we didn’t). She wanted $1000 extra dollars and it had to go to Airbnb arbitration. And I never even got the photo shoot.

    Lol. At least my host only asked for $100 for the inconvenience of having to vacuum his entryway

Airbnb hasn't been a roll of the dice for me, but reading the text of the reviews is much more important than looking at the rating count.

  "Airbnb hasn't been a roll of the dice for me" Of course it has. You've just rolled snake-eyes every time.

  I've found sorting by most recent reviews to be quite effective (works well for Amazon too from being burned on product quality cliffs). Recent reviews are a better sample than an average from everything, and give a better intuitive sense of what the place is like. IDK how some stays can have great ratings and the last 10+ reviews are all 1 star. Learned that lesson the hard way.

In cities: Parking? Yes, there is parking. Of course there's parking... in the general area. Oh, you were driving in from 6 hours away and relying on it? Sorry, we're gonna go no-contact at 11pm for the rest of your stay. Enjoy! In rural areas: whoopsie the romantic getaway with a claw foot bathtub also has disgusting well water that stinks and stains everything it touches. Btw, you should buy and drink bottled water only here; According to the printed instructions left on the kitchen table that you'll only get to see after arriving. P.s. Complain about this and we'll leave a bad review on you. I still have a couple hundred dollars of credit on my account from my last shit stay and I'm not even going to use it, I'm so fucking done with AirBnB.
