The host voluntarily offered covid-related information about the booking, including the fact that there were no back to back guests. This was obviously revealed to be a lie in later communication and upon arrival. Other red flags that emerged included: multiple accounts on the platform with the exact same bio (verbatim), extremely confrontational language throughout the mediation process, and details that kept changing. Airbnb seems to have an extremely low bar on determining whom it allows to list on the platform, as they believed the above irregularities were par for the course in terms of best practices.
