I'm thinking about booking one in Palm Springs for Coachella in the next month or so.  And I'm interested in any experiences on here?

Particularly with the host, the check-in/check-out process, etc.

I'm usually a hotel person, but with the people I'm going with, I think it would be fun to try this out.

And I'm not talking about a private room either.  I want the whole property.

Thanks in advance!

So yeah, in conclusion, AirBnb is TRASH and I'd rather stay in a damn hotel

But hotels too!

Not about to perch in some stranger's house

Not about to research them or do my own background check either

Not about to sanitize their apartment/house down because it doesn't fit my standard of cleanliness.

Not about to deal with whatever random mess could happen during my stay from a family emergency, pissed landlord, crazy neighbor or random friends and exes

Not about to use their refrigerator or food not knowing what they could've done to it or if they washed their hands before they touched any of it

Etc etc...

Drais, I was researching on here before I made this thread.

I?ve done quite a few. I?m actually doing one in LA in January

I?ve always had good experiences. Clean houses, friendly hosts, etc

Just make sure you read all the reviews

OMG! Thank you!

Can you tell me about check-in/check-out?  Like do you meet the host at the house and get the keys?  And does the host contact you at all during the stay?  Do they pop up?

Are there rules they have beyond the usual that would be at a hotel?

I still feel the same way. I can't see myself using a PITSbnb mess.

I really love it
Use it all the time

Some of these places in Cali are sooooo beautiful, though.

Is it The Real World?

ACK!

Bae!  I'm gonna copy/paste you the same things I asked Brandon then...

Checkin/checkout depends on the host really and can vary. The house I had in NYC the host lived next door, met us there, and gave us the passcodes

In Atlanta the host gave us all information via text.

I?m not sure how the one in LA is going to work as I didn?t book it.

No pop ups in the homes I?ve stayed in and the hosts have been available if we had questions (we needed some extras towels in nyc and she brought them right over)

Rules differ by host also. But the common one is no parties.

I just can?t. I?d have to sleep with 1 eye open knowing they can just drop in at anytime. I watch too much ID to be in a strangers home.

No bby
I?ve done it several times and I?ve never met the host
They usually hide the key somewhere and give u instructions on where to find ha
No major rules..
The only bad experience I had was in Detroit

Yuck

But that was my dumb ass doing one in that shit city
Other than that it?s everything

I?ve done this at least 30 times
And the hosts have never contacted me other than the Detroit one
They don?t pay attention to u or care..
they want their money and leave you be..
They are use to any and everything so I wouldn?t be pressed about how many guest I have with me either..
They aren?t watching you..
Just leave it clean and mess when u leave so they can rate u well..
Bad ratings make it hard for u to get nice ones ...

They're probably nice, but not for me. My friends have done it and rave over it but I'm super private and super cautious. I'd feel more at ease staying at a nice hotel.

An Airbnb in Detroit just sounds like mess

[ya rock muh world.]

I went to the poconos years ago. nnnsdnn

Thank you so much!  You kinda SWAYED ME! lolz!

I just reconnected with my friend Kadeem and he had an experience where the host canceled on him like the day before.  And that kinda gives me anxiety, because I couldn't handle something like that happening so close to the trip.  I just need more real opinions.  My cousin did it in Palm Springs a few years ago and said it was incredible.
