I want to look for other listings in my area, and to show someone else my listing. When I put in Port Angeles, WA I get about every listing in Victoria, BC, Canada! This is aggravating, why can't Airbnb see that WE are NOT Canada, that it is a different country, for one, and requires an hour and a half Ferry ride to get there. I had to fight with them to start a group here in the upper Peninsula, they kept telling me that there already IS a local group, it's Seattle, Seattle is 3 1/2 hours away, AND involves a Ferry ride as well.

And I still think their web site (for hosts) is about the most difficult web site to manuver.

If you want to do a search for your own listing, narrow the search by adding your own names.  That is how I found your listing.

When you search, zoom into your location on the map on the right side of the page. Certain listings with many reviews/superhosts etc are given priority, so the sure way is by zooming into your location. 

This is also the best way to compare pricing for your particular area of the city.

Hi Adrienne, did you start a group for the upper peninsula by now? We are hosts in PA as well and would love to connect more :). And I agree, Seattle really is not suitable for us!

Also, did anything ever come of your complaint to Airbnb to not include Victoria in the results when people look for PA?
