LEGAL PROBLEMS: Airbnb has been banned in many cities. Hosts have been sued by the city, and fined thousands of dollars for hosting airbnb guests. Neighbors and communities are protesting airbnb hosting.
GUEST PROBLEMS: Airbnb hosts have had their homes totally trashed by guests, property damaged, stolen, requiring police intervention and legal action.
INSURANCE PROBLEMS: Airbnb's "$1,000,000 host guarantee is a scam!" Airbnb runs hosts through hurdles, only to deny, greatly reduce, or ignore the claims in the end.
HOSTS USED, ABUSED & KICKED TO THE CURB: If a host exercises their right & files claims against guests security deposits due to damage, theft or violations of rules, they are kicked to the curb with no warning. Their listing(s) are deactivated and all bookings cancelled.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO GUESTS: When a host is kicked to the curb, so are their guests. Airbnb lies to the guests, telling them it was the host who cancelled their bookings, when in fact, both host and guests are victimized by airbnb.
AIRBNB'S GREED: Airbnb collects a fee from both ends, the host and the guest.
If a booking is cancelled, the only one guaranteed 100% payment is airbnb.
SELLING YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL: For a little bit of money, hosts sacrifice their home, their privacy, their time, their freedom, their lives, and their pocketbook, only to be kicked to the curb by airbnb after they have used and abused you, and replace you with new unsuspecting hosts that airbnb pulls into their web of deceit.
This person, also known as Israel Martinez Soriano, advertises on AirBnb an apartment in Valencia, Spain, under the title "HUGE APT + 2 BIKE + PARKING + WIFI" (property nr. 709972). Address: Calle Antiga Senda de Senent, 1. Phone: +34 667835304.
We, couple with child, booked this apartment for one month. On the pictures it looks nice, but when we got there it was a big shock!
First he was not waiting for us. We had to call him. Then the apartment was dirty. The furniture is of a really very cheap and low quality. The bed is the cheapest you can by from IKEA, with a laughable mattress on it. It squeaked when we moved. Bedclothes had stains and holes. The sofa was totally worn out and had huge stains of coffee and other things. Some walls also had large stains and were in desperate need of repainting. Kitchen utensils were almost non existent and what was there was broken or also of a very cheap and low quality. It was impossible to cook there. There was not even a coffee machine, which is standard in every good property. Water in the shower didn't get hot. And there were many more issues.
But the worst one was the unbelievable stench in the main bathroom. It was the pungent smell of a decomposing body!
On the next day we decided to leave and had to almost fight with him to get our money back and in the end he didn't give us back all we had payed.
It was really a traumatizing experience and if you are planing to rent an apartment in Valencia, Spain, be warned about this scammer and this awful "apartment"!
