I just had a very bad experience with AirBnB. A host posted pictures of an entirely different apartment. In the real apartment the electrical outlets were falling out of the walls and the windows were so rusty that they wouldn't shut. (The place was also expensive.)
But there's always a gamble with "collaborative consumption," so it's not the end of the world. And I've been very satisfied with other AirBnB experiences.
- ISL 13y agoSometimes hotels underwhelm too. It's (unfortunately, from a measurement perspective) a matter of degree.
- jobowoo 13y agoDid you notify AirBnb? Did they rectify the situation?
- hawkharris 13y agoI ended up confronting the owner face-to-face about all the issues with the apartment — basically telling her it wasn't ready for rent. I told her I probably wouldn't leave a negative review as long as she fixed the problems with the listing. (She was new to renting, so I wanted to give her some slack, even though she was kinda dishonest.)
