It is only "risky" if you do what the author of the article did and leave no room for error. I have used airBnB several times in foreign countries and always had a fine time (albeit with a few minor glitches). Although the same is true even for hotel arrangements, with airBnB it is even more important to plan ahead, confirm things, and stay flexible.
