Yes @Paula , finally got turned back on. Have to be honest, it was a long painful process...no idea why it took almost a month. Once my case got elevated (I was told they only communicate via email -- Shane C was my rep)..he kept sending me the same message 'we are working on it'. I asked him numerous times to have someone call me because I wanted to further understand the holdup/problem. His response was still 'we are working on it'.
Anyway- its resolved but hope Air bnb customer support can do better next time.
