I've had the opposite issue which is as a renter which is out of 6 AirBnB rentals 5 of them had issues, 4 of them the host lied on their listing and several I didn't rent lied on their listings as well but I got smart enough to confirm before.
#1 was "parking on premises". Having a car I wanted a space. One place I show up and "here's the space but it's often blocked so you'll have to park somewhere else". Another I show up. "Host, sorry I'm in Europe and my car is in the space so you'll have to park somewhere else". Have had similar experiences confirming. "It says on your listing parking on premises. Is that true?" "Yes, parking on the street is easy although if here on a weekday you won't have a permit so you'll have to park 3 blocks away". "What part of on premises don't you get???"
And no, the reviews didn't mention it. I assume because others didn't have car or didn't notice they paid for "parking on premises".
Another place claimed WiFi but it turned out he was stealing wifi from a neighbor and it only worked if you sat on their sofa. He said if it didn't work there was free wifi in the lobby of the building.
Yet another said their place was a 1 bedroom, not a studio but it was actually a studio with just a wardrobe separating the bed from the rest. What's the difference? Whether or not there's a door between me and the refrigerator who's noise keeps me awake. I wouldn't have rented the place had the listing been correct.
So, yea, no more AirBnB for me
