I'm not looking for attention or gaining any self-pity. Rebbeca you don't have to explain that at all - but as a victim of Domestic Violence* what you need is proper 'shelter, support and protection' not 'just a break' Forgive me for chipping in - only you know the situation however 'airbnb, hosts, house rules, payments etc etc' might not be the issues you can or have to deal with, right now.
* i have written few materials on this aspect[domestic abuse, dynamics of situation, feelings, perception and reality] I hope you'll see this as a clarification of sorts and call upon right people for help; instead of trying to 'pass this period on your own and with a 3yrs old child' Good Luck.
