Reply to comment by TwilitSky in NYC proposes strict Airbnb registration rules to take effect in January by Eriosyces
My issue with Airbnb is schedule changes and refunds. I’ve had so many issues of flights getting cancelled (thus no longer needing a 3 night long-weekend Airbnb, but unlike a hotel I’m on the hook for the whole cost instead of just a 1-night cancellation penalty), work meeting dates getting switched last minute (office will cover both options), snowstorm means I’m arriving a day late, etc etc. I think I’ve lost $600 to Airbnb for such things this year alone… and when you cancel, they still keep the cleaning fee???

It depends when you cancel. Your reservation should tell you the last day to cancel for a refund . After that date it’s a game to get it back

Yes. I’m not talking about the normal cancellation rules and whether one follows them or not. I’m talking about last minute unforeseen circumstances. That works at hotels, it doesn’t work at airbnbs

That’s the difference from Airbnb & hotels. People actually live off of their profits for renting out their space. Just don’t use it if you don’t prefer it. Such a world we live in and the sources of incomes that evolve each day.
