From a landlord's perspective, I've had a mixed experience with Airbnb. When it works, it's wonderful; the review system usually keeps everyone reasonable. But when things go wrong, it can be a nightmare. I had a guest who wanted to stay for several months and complained about the WiFi and other minor issues. Despite this, she booked another long stay. Fast forward a few weeks, and she’s now basically squatting in my property. Airbnb has been zero help – they spent days trying to contact her, but she just ignored them. They said I can't make her leave, even with safety concerns like an overdue chimney sweep for the wood-burning stove. She’s even keeping a key in the door to prevent access. So now, I'm heading to court. Airbnb's customer service is friendly but utterly useless when real problems arise.
