Hello @Ashley1837
Thousands of new hosts are now sharing their places on Airbnb.
I understand your concern. Personally, I like to read every past-guest review and soak in all the bits and pieces hoping to find a place where I'd feel comfortable staying...and of course I'd avoid a place where a guest described a less than tidy accomadation. You're right in that listening to your gut is very important. Check out the area in general and compare each listing that catches your eye. Don't make a mistake of thinking a lower priced listing is "bad" because some of us realize that not every guest can afford sky high hotel rates, or can afford a 7 night-vacation. The world is your oyster. Have fun and enjoy the search! If you ever plan on a girls-getaway, or family vacation, or just need a hideout to relax and enjoy, I hope you'll visit Cape Cod.
Best, Deb of Cape Cod
