After a 3rd bad experience, I have decided to opt out of Airbnb, and removed my account. First bad experience was in Europe (Czech Republic)where just a week before my stay, owner was no longer responding. I cancelled successfully, but had to settle for a hotel as other options were no longer available. 2nd bad experience was in Paris where apartment rented lacked bedding for the second bed, and bathroom was not clean. But the worst third bad experience was 2 weekends ago in Boston where apartment was NOT as described (a bachelor instead of a one bedroom), had a dismall kitchen with a smelly sponge for cleaning, lacked bedding and blankets, had a dirty bathroom rug, and had a paying parking where we were told it would be free. When these were mentioned to the host, she posted that WE had ruined the place (she obviously poorly understood the cleaning lady who had explained that the people before us had done so!), and she posted a horrific comment about me on my profile. I explained this in length to the AIRbnb people, they said they could not do anything about it, nor were they going to review the details of the place. It is too bad, I did have good experiences (2) also, one on Pelee Island, and one in Prince Edward County.
