Wait how are they even able to enforce the fee?

By "both" keys, you mean both sets of replacements you got because you kept locking yourself out of the room, right?

Why does the airbnb logo look like testivaries and a pegina?

Family of 5. We stayed at an Airbnb in Salem, MA that was Harry Potter themed. Kids loved it. Good experience.

Generally though, hotels, please.

Ironically the same brown central south American cleaning crew cleans up for the hotels and airbnb, also they are disappearing because of ICE

So, higher airbnb cleaning fees are coming?

I booked a AirBNB once, and we had already driven an hour, and the owner said they never approved the booking, and "Airbnb messed up" when I called an hour into the drive

Nope, she clearly had forgotten to disable it that night. Then, after I argued, she said "oh just wait 10 mins, I'll see if I can fix it", and wanted me to sit there for 10mins in my car doing nothing.

Another time, its was NYE, it was $400 a night, and the bin there was overflowing at the BBQ, and, we bought ice cream but the freezer was frozen over completely, so it wouldn't fit.

Air bnb people definitely don't like that their rates don't cover property taxes and they run a deficit every month. They charge fees to stay in the black. They're just capitalist that think you have to make money on everything

During the Plague, I had plenty of experience with both meal delivery apps (finding weird new ways how befuddled immigrants get scammed) and app scoots (it's like public transport, but more unreliable and more expensive).

Don't do app shit under normal circumstances, being the main lesson here. It's going to be full of weird fucking shit.

Instead of this, can we talk about how AirBnB removed regulations around tourist accommodation everywhere and now people can't pay rent? Hotels were regulated by governments for a reason. Taxis were regulated by governments for a reason. We opened the gates for anarcho-capitalism and let criminal leeches run away with the profits. Time to kick these criminal organizations out!

The hotel can get away with it because they underpay an exploited worker to do all the cleaning. AirBnBs are so particular about cleaning because the owner is either doing it themselves or hiring an independent contractor. It's bourgeoisie vs. petite bourgeoisie.

Oh sweet summer child. None of that's accurate.
