Another airbnb scam story: Several years back, I booked a place on Airbnb (thankfully it was just for 1 night), turned up at the provided address and had was not able to enter the premises. Contacted host and was told it was at a different address. I had to catch another cab to get there. Turns out the host was a renter and was illegally subletting on Airbnb. When I reported this to Airbnb and left a negative review, my review was removed within a couple of days. Airbnb knows which side of the bread is buttered.
