- Joeri 13y agoI think the host in that case owned their appartment.
- paulgb 13y agoI don't think so; her post refers to AirBnB helping with the "monthly rent" http://ejroundtheworld.blogspot.ca/2011/06/violated-travelers-lost-faith-difficult.html?m=1 http://ejroundtheworld.blogspot.ca/2011/06/violated-traveler...
- judk 13y agoAirBnB happily collects fees from illegal customers, but can't very well pay out insurance to them. That would be a dstectable violation of the law.
- makomk 13y agoIt's remarkable if the guarantee was an honest attempt to protect hosts, but makes a lot of sense as a cynical PR stunt designed to convince people to let AirBNB customers into their homes without the actual cost of protecting them.
