I have been an Airbnb person for the last three years. I recently Airbnbed out a property of mine in Florida. Let me tell you about the kind of people that came to stay at my place two strippers that got high the entire time and then had the audacity to say they felt like they were being watched and harassed and people don’t like it when the host bothers them. Well, she parked in the main driveway and was asked to relocate her car and that apparently made her feel unsafe and like she had no privacy. Or how about the construction workers that said they had four when my Airbnb specifically said it fits two comfortably or 4 if you’re in a pinch and then they brought eight people who disrupted my tenants tore up my yard and broke all my stuff. But Airbnb didn’t care about that. Although I did get the $20 back for the broken curtain rod, but not the four additional people two additional trucks and all the other damage. or how about the old people that came took all of the lighting fixtures off the walls and said I needed more lighting and rated me a two on cleanliness because they didn’t have a washer and dryer and felt that it needed to be updated. It needed to be updated. You had a stove and oven and everything that you need to live there except a washer and dryer. Let’s not forget the pictures and the square footage are all in the listing. On top of that, guests we’re paying two to $300 more for their taxes and fees and then guests are getting mad at me saying I’m expensive. I unlisted my property after only three months, two drug baggies (different guests) and two people who lied about who was staying. It gives people like me who travel and don’t wanna stay at a hotel, a bad rep. As far as staying at an Airbnb, I have stayed at five different locations. The first one was wonderful, but other guests have ruined it so it’s not listed anymore. One of them was nothing like the pictures and the other one had a host that actually lived upstairs and came to visit several times. (Not ok) i’m not a huge fan. I think I’ll stay with the hotels.
