Something I found out while running down lodging options for our adventure:
Many AirBNB hosts do not actually own the home they're renting to you - they themselves are renters. In many states, this means they are subletting to you illegally and you can face consequences by entering into this agreement with them. Not necessarily legally, but if caught you can be out on your butt with no recourse or advance notice. AirBNB guests have had neighbors call the cops, then they couldn't come up with valid documentation to prove they weren't squatters or B&Es.
Of the many reasons why I decided that AirBNB, although it sounded great in concept, isn't something we're interested in. People apparently use it and think it's great, but to me it's an accident waiting to happen. Not the great idea I initially thought it was.
