I rented Deb and Steve’s place to have a private, quiet space to have a day retreat for my work. Deb made sure the space was ready and prepared for an early check-in, and was very flexible with the house set up. We did experience an incident that violates AirBnB’s code of conduct. I invited a few of my colleagues to join me for a meeting and a home-cooked dinner. One of the hosts came into the (shared) kitchen while we were preparing dinner to check in on us, and suddenly touched my colleague (her hair) without permission. The act startled my colleague (as well as the rest of us), and we all perceived it as inappropriate, a lack of consent, a violation of space, and racialized (the host is White and my colleague is Black). The experience was disruptive and shocking, and we considered leaving. In the end we decided to finish our dinner, cleaned up, and I decided to leave early. The host left us alone the remainder of the evening, and sent a text message apologizing. I feel the host would benefit from appropriate host conduct training as well as racial and cultural sensitivity training or discussion, and I notified AirBnB.
