So I'm at a quandry. I'm popping in to see my daughter for a quick weekend with my husband. Booked an Airbnb within walking distance of her apartment. Host has several good reviews. Get a message (no last name, by the way) saying that the address on the listing is not the REAL address. Apparently that is the place where guests used to pick up keys. Instead, the real apartment is 1.5 miles away (a 31 minute walk versus a 5 minute walk).
(insert as many expletives as you want here)
How does Airbnb allow a host to list an address that is not the actual address, then tell the guest - oops - go to a different place. Who vetts this stuff?
Venting over. (I'm considering cancelling - it's been less than 24 hours - but that may mean I lose my coupon used to bring the cost down)..
What would you do if you were in my place?
And shouldn't Airbnb start requiring verification of address?
