Normally I just move on from a bad experience. I've never been one to take to Yelp after a subpar meal or things of that nature. However, this is a public warning to any Summer Interns or people staying for a longer period of time. Airbnb DOES NOT protect you against abusive hosts.
When I first arrived at this Airbnb, there was a request by the host and tenant for a room swap. I agreed to the swap only after I was assured that I would not have to move back. Despite that, when the other tenant left, I was asked to move back. When I argued back that (1) I wanted to stay in the current room as per the agreement and because I didn't have much time to move outside of my internship and (2) even if I wanted to move, I would need time to move; Grace decided to drop my listing and kick me out instead.
Now, could I have stayed and argued tenant rights or squatter rights? Sure. It probably would have taken a host close to 6 months to get an eviction order. I could have argued for right to 30-day notice, etc etc. However, a student intern is in a precarious situation where they're just trying to get by during the summer and not screw up getting a job offer. It doesn't help that Airbnb does next to nothing to help the tenant in such situations. I was lucky that I had family in the area, otherwise I would have literally been on the streets.
The pictures are also deceptive. They don't show that the room here is literally a shack in the backyard. A shack is fine, when I know I'm paying for a shack, but the pictures didn't show that. It's also right next to the chicken coop which means (1) bug bites and (2) waking up at 6am in the morning.
