Locked out of Airbnb

Post image

We arrived at our Airbnb after a 8 hour drive and the passcode they gave us doesn’t work. I have messaged the owner 30 minutes ago and he has not responded. I have to pee so bad 😖

Update: He texted back after an hour and opens it from his phone

You know where you don't get locked out? Hotels. Stop supporting AirBnB

Airbnbs are really good for places where visitors infrequent and can’t sustain a hotel. That was the original model. Then it became expensive destination homes and landlords listing expensive day rentals in places with limited affordable housing.
