Three difficult days ago, I returned home from an exhausting week of business travel to an apartment that I no longer recognized. To an apartment that had been ransacked.
Personally, I had always thought of Airbnb as a paid form of Couchsurfing, or a way to rent guest rooms or attached spaces, not a subletting service. I can't imagine letting someone live in my home unsupervised for any amount of time without a huge sublet contract. Especially someone I had never even met in person. Did this guy mail his keys out or something?
Airbnb is not insane, but this story sure is.
