I heard convulsing and yelled and opened the door and turned on the light hundreds of pills it looked like and 11 empty prescription bottles and he was foaming at the mouth I called 911 and now I got a room full of clothes and drugs.

I’m waiting for Airbnb to respond…

It could have been our home this woman rented with her young child. I am still in shock. All I want to do is reach out to that poor owner. Aug 2019.

‘Hosts whose interest in neighborhoods is monetization.’

With due respect…
If I was generating enough money from my regular business then I wouldn’t be hosting through airbnb. In July and August when regular business drops off it has been my main source of income. Like many people in the western world life has become increasingly difficult for me with precarious employment situation, rising costs of living and so on.
I am engaged with the neighbourhood, know my neighbours regularly, visit and look out for an elderly neighbour across the road. airbnb clearly needs more regulation. It needs authorities in different jurisdictions to set up a common regulatory framework and there’s not much chance of that in todays world. I think the expression is putting the horse before the cart.

Rapacious business. Hosts whose interest in neighborhoods is monetization.

I knew the trolls would be out on this one. I’m asking if guests have medical conditions which might need EMERGENCY medical treatment. I think it is very much my business if strangers are coming into my home and if I’m aware of such things then I can better look out for someone.

This is why I avoir airbnb. And your guests’ medical conditions is none of your business.

I’ve changed the names and am not revealing the exact location where these events took place.
Any activity you’re involved in, things can and do go wrong and I hope sharing this story can help others. I will continue hosting on airbnb and will protect myself with amended and very strict rules. Insist when guests arrive on seeing photo ID that must be the same as the person making the booking, ask that guests tell me if they have medical conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes and so on, install security cameras in the apartment so I can know who is entering and leaving. I checked again and my insurance covers me for this sort of ***t.
