I have used AirBnb once, and it was an outstanding experience. But I heard of others having experiences like those described above. Recently, an older brother told me they no longer use AirBnb after having bad experiences.
Many AirBnb “hosts” have tacked on work tasks and hidden fees that make AirBnb undesirable. AirBnb insists everything is fine, without addressing the specific complaints.
What is your experience?
