I thought that payment goes directly through AirBnB and not to the owner. My current rental didn't require a security deposit, which some owners request to be paid directly in cash. That would make me nervous.
Surprised that Safari would be the problem given that it is able to process your CC. I've had the opposite issue, needing to switch to Firefox when a site didn't recognize my date (Hotels.com).
I've had poorly cleaned rooms even in good hotels. Stuff happens. It's easy enough to read the AirBnB reviews to filter out hosts who don't clean properly.
I have no idea why she said Safari doesn't work. Through the night I got a message that I go the place. Even though I managed to talk to the owner personally.
It is a rather large place and stand alone building, so am not breaking any rules. And a friend will be going to pay the owner and pick up the keys. I will have my daughter's housekeeper clean the place and put my own sheets before I go. I like to use my own sheets if I don't know the quality of the place.
9eme you say…. You have great restos in your hood, lots of very good ones. Some of my favs. Am sure you found some. If you need more, pm me and I will send you my preferred ones. And a great one just opened next to you.
