Last week I have had one apartment in Paris literally trashed by a gang of criminals that organised a 2 nights rave party.
The reservation came from a profile with Id and phone verification, and most disturbingly, with several 5 stars reviews. They presented themselves as a lovely family with 2 small kids, only to party ( with use of drugs) for 2 nights in a row leaving about €5000 in damages and counting.
Since then I have been targeted by these people, and I received strange enquiries and also one reservation(football player name with ID verified...) from profiles with verified ID; at my request to provide full real names of all the occupants and to be all present upon arrival with photo ID, in addition to sign a responsibility agreement, they all disappeared.
I wonder if the security checks carried out by Airbnb need some serious improvement. In the past, I've been always confident taking reservations from Airbnb as opposite to other platforms. Now I feel that this is not going to happen anymore.
Anyone had my same bad experience?
