Yeah what I've found with Airbnb is these days you need to optimize way harder for host quality/reviews and less for your actual preference in terms of location, price, furnishings. If the place has a 4.95, you will get what you pay for. 4.5-4.8 = there many be some hiccups. < 4.5 you might as well go to Vegas and put the money on black.
