In reply to LJ. That makes no sense. What if you love the place, but the morning after your stay, the place is already booked by someone else? And saying the same thing 3 times in one post (see above) doesn't make the nonsensical, sensible. From what I'm reading, to have a successful Airbnb stay, choose wisely, follow the rules, and book with a major credit card if all else fails.

Next time stay in a hotel. Short term rental companies suck. This is what happens when you have the expectations of a hotel and stay in someone’s hell hole house.

Anyone taking money in exchange for lodging should provide a comfortable environment. Knowing that the unit was hot, and that there was a heatwave, the owner should have proactively provided an air conditioner. Black out drapes should be standard – they are in any hotel – even Motel 6 has them – and if noise is a known issue, then a white noise machine to help with sleep

I think booking for only one night would be the solution if people use air bnb then you can see if you like it. We expect a means to cool down in a place that is hot . We also expect room darkening blinds/shades because we know even computer screens can keep us awake. Leaving is the best solution because it is your holiday. I don’t understand how people can keep your money if you leave because they can rerent

In reply to hedgehog14. It makes sense to only book one night to see if someone else’s interpretation of adequate living conditions would be acceptable then

In reply to Brian Pan. I think people should book one night and decide after that if they want to stay with all air bnb bookings.

They didn’t mention lights and noise affecting kids.? Airbnb is not for you. Sorry.

Thanks for providing the link. The host has excellent reviews. Surely holding the host responsible for a heatwave is unreasonable? And your child’s photophobia is not the hosts problem. It’s yours.

while I can sympathize you had a negative experience and the heat/light were awful, this is somebody’s home – that’s the whole point or airbnb, that you live in someone else’s home how they live, so if you needed a hotel experience airbnb was not the right choice. I don’t like airbnb at all so it’s not that I’m supporting them, but if you do book airbnb you have to accept the risk and potential for stuff like this. I’m glad (and surprised) you got anything back from airbnb.
