We had issues with Airbnb in London the places weren't that great, we ended up paying double basically to switch out a bad location just to move a mediocre one.

So you really have to sleuth the listings I guess. We did ask tons of questions about the bad one in London but still ended up in a bad unit. We did find an excellent hotel in London, The Resident Covent Garden. Highly recommended. We'll probably lean toward hotels from now on, unless we are really comfortable with the airbnb listing. And will definitely ask even more questions next time.
