Lots of misinformation in this thread. I host economical listings on airbnb and have had over 300 stays in the last 2 years and get plenty of bad reviews. Half of my guests are repeats who are just there for work and don't bother to review. The other half will leave 2, 3, 4 stars largely because they're not used to being around hispanics and blacks, which triggers airbnb to threaten me with being delisted, which would screw over my returning guests who are happy with the value. I price my listing at the bottom 25% median and clearly state that the neighborhood is multiculturally and socioeconomically diverse. It is a tremendous value for the area but there will always be guests with 5 star tastes and 1 star budget.
