minus-squarebitwolflinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 months agoAirbnb doesn’t protect the tenant enough. I’ve been charged for a locksmith because the instructions state “leave the key on the table” but the dumbass landlord doesn’t have a spare key. I only find it helpful for renting homes during group trips. Otherwise I’ll always go to a hotel. Similarly, I will always use cabs in NYC, never an Uber.
