Steve B.

We stayed in Prague for 5 days, Lake Como for 3, Pistoia for 4 and Greve in Chianti for 4 with very good accommodations via AirBnb. The apartments were as described and the hosts met us every time. The communication with AirBnb and the hosts was excellent.

Our last apartment in Rome didn't work out as well as the others. The host met us and was helpful but his toilet would not function properly. He fixed it once but the second time it stopped up and would not flush was too much for us and we left for a hotel. The host offered other accommodations but we were done.

My real disappointment is with AirBnb. They pestered us as soon as we left one city for reviews. We did them. It was easy to be positive. Their tease is that we could read our hosts' review of us once we completed our reviews. We really had little concern for our hosts reviews of us but we did read them with no surprises. My wife and I are in our sixties so we are not much trouble. However the last review was half positive (our host did try and we liked the apartment next to the Vatican) but the plumbing failures were too much for us and a negative narrative in the review. AND it has not been published a week after I wrote it. The positive reviews that I wrote were published quickly. I hesitated to write a negative review but i felt I owe more to my fellow travelers than to my host. I am disappointed in AirBnb for not publishing my review quickly!
