I've been turned off of Airbnb due to the reviews being completely untrustworthy and hosts that put cameras up to 'make sure only the guests listed enter' - aka spying on guests. It's also really awkward when a listing just says "cameras in common areas". Well does that mean the living room? Dining room?
It's a shame airbnb has basically let professional real estate firms take over and completely trash it with listings that are nothing like what they show.
The last one I stayed at in Florida had a really bad ant problem and the place was filthy. They also had the AC set to turn off after 30 minutes. Keep in mind, it's in Florida and this was middle of summer.
While I'm ranting, why do they let basements or single floors of a shared house count as an 'entire place'? It's really weird to turn up and see you're actually in a basement in the owners house with their kids stomping around upstairs.
