I have been using AirBnB very actively during the last couple of years, mostly in the Northern Europe and South East Asia, and my experience was nothing but wonderful. However, as some people in this thread have already pointed out, you need to stick to certain rules of a thumb:
a) always check response rate and average response time to weed out any sloppy profiles;
b) BEFORE you place a reservation, write a host introducing yourself and telling a bit about the purpose of your visit;
c) after the host OKs you (or makes a special offer through the system), go ahead an make the booking. Of course, the optimal time to book is 1-2 weeks before you arrive, do it earlier and hosts' plans might change, do it later and they might simply miss your message. |
