Also, on an unrelated note, it looks like AirBnB has now made it impossible to opt out of the fleece, on the order of 3% (and you have to read and comprehend two separate poorly-written 'help documents' to figure that out):

https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/...h-any-currency & https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/502

Relevant bits:

"You can choose to view Airbnb listings in many currencies, but you can't manually choose what currency you'll pay in. The currency in which you'll be asked to pay is controlled by your country and payment method." and "The adjusted exchange rate is the base exchange rate plus a 3% conversion fee."

I guess AirBnB just doesn't believe in any regulations at all, hotel, payment processing, or otherwise...
