Yep 100%. It took one experience being stuck on the street in London with my bags to never use AirBnb again. The negatives are just not worth the risk.

I’m an AirBNB host, so I get a $100 non-transferable coupon each year; so I stay at an AirBNB once a year, and never without a backup plan. I’d be thrilled to stay at a place like mine, but I don’t understand how to use the tools they provide to be confident in that outcome, so I book hotels with brands that I trust to be accountable instead.
