I didn't bother with AirBnB after I found out they force charge DCC (thanks FT).
I absolutely HATE merchants that sneak a DCC fee in (paypal) and others that FORCE a DCC (AirBnB). Most unethical, predatory and unscrupulous business practice... that basically preys on people's financial ignorance.
Good thing the property I was looking for was listed on another site (homeaway.hk by expedia) and I booked there for cheaper and without a stupid DCC fee.
That's what I will encourage people to do - vote with their wallet...
And the thing is, I was going to book through Airbnb (didn't know anyone else) until I found out about their DCC practices... and that made me realise there were alternatives ^^
