I was going to take a plunge and use Airbnb for a trip March 2016 to Los Angeles and then I realized that Airbnb charges your card now for a trip 5 months from now and does NOT pay the host until 24 hours after you check in. There is a limited cancellation... leaving one with money on you credit card for months maybe while Airbnb collects interest on that money. It's a scam... NO hotel charges your card months in advance unless it's a package deal with cancellation policies in place that make sense. I ashcanned the plan to use them... Home Away is better... and just booked a great hotel, same price and they DONT charge your card unless and until you don't show up. No airbnb for me. NO wonder they ae worth $10 billion... with the money they have sitting there in their accounts... boo...
