When a company knowingly continues to do something like this, they are not a company I would want to do business with.

I strongly suggest that people avoid using AirBnB.
I'm not crazy about AirBnB either, but there was just no other way to make this booking. No VRBO, no local letting agencies, no Craiglist listings, no nothing. And technically we've only booked through them once and now book directly with the landlady - all parties are happier with that arrangement.
