First time doing Airbnb last year and then went onto the Hacker Homes in the bay area. Great time, great hosts. There are definitely risks involved, but I think less so than on Craigslist. When went apartment hunting on Craigslist in Boston, the owner of the first house had to climb in through the window, total mess. I found out from his friend later that there was probably some residual effects of acid from his early days.... At least customer service seemed okay. Took down the listing, refund, plus a $500 credit. Bit slow, maybe, but it's a lot better than dealing with my phone company.
