  My last two airbnbs were: - burglar alarm went off all night. Host and airbnb acknowledged problem, would not give refund. - woke up with a white spot on my body after a couple of nights. Turned out this was a strep infection.

    > Turned out this was a strep infection. This is my biggest fear with AirBNB. There’s no health inspections and I think it’s way more likely that the owner will just pocket the “cleaning” fee and rely on charging it to make renters think they are cleaning. Hotels aren’t perfect but at least they have someone whose job it is to clean. So likely some training and experience in cleaning things and washing sheets. I’m supposed to believe they are paying someone to hang around for 2-4 hours it takes to wash sheets in the house instead of spraying febreeze. I like to find a well stocked laundry closet with at least a few changes of sheets for each bed. But that’s pretty rare from my Airbnb experiences.
