Elizabeth-
Agree with you 100%, we are having a bitch about the programming attached to the CC at the moment, but every time I write in defense of Airbnb's handling of a specific issue, I can bet there will be a handful of posts from hosts telling me. I should get a life, grow up and make Airbnb do what that host thinks they should do, and how they boldly state Airbnb have become unusable!
Elizabeth, I am making money, I have been introduced to many really nice people, I can't believe I am actually getting paid to have this much fun!
Sure, at times I will play the part of devils advocate, but we all need to do that! We all have to think of and discuss varying options.
There are things I do not like about the structure of the company, but nothing I would have a hissy fit over....ABB introduce guests to me, I host, I get paid....and the wheels on the bus go round and round!
Any forum site, product review site is going to see the worst aspects of what ever they are dealing with. I am active on a site called Product Review ( I won't put in the address because it will be rejected) and in this country we have an internet booking site called Web-Jet. This company organises travel options for thousands of travellers every day but if you look at the product review site you will see that Web-Jet have a rating of 1 star out of 5! They have 26 excellent reviews and 737 terrible reviews! Are they really that bad?....no, people put pen to paper when they want to complain, not when the're merely satisfied!
Last night more than 800,000 users stayed in an Airbnb listing....the only ones you will see come here will amount to less than .000002%....the rest of them are happy, they don't want to grizzle.
Take it with a grain of salt Elizabeth, life is full of curved balls and occasionally some will come into our lives one way or another.
I don't get upset about them, let em have their rant, as long as Airbnb keep sending me guests and money...all is fine in my world!
Cheers......Rob
