Report Airbnb to San Francisco BBB. Let them know that they have an A-plus rating because of deceptive practices, in as much as negative reviews are either not permitted or removed. Also ask a national network to do a segment on the underhanded practices of Airbnb.

A woman who wishes to travel alone should do the research of the area. Honestly anyone who’s staying in a place they don’t actually live in should do research… It’s the smart thing to do so a person doesn’t end up in an area they are frightful of being in.

And I’ll agree airbnb reviews can’t be trusted completely.

“How can a woman in her twenties not research an area that she’s going to stay in?”

I’m shocked! Shocked! You’re blaming the victim?? If a young man were to do this, he’d be expelled from the university by the Local Council on Political Correctness.

And to boot, you ask “why, just because this one place was in a rough location, are ALL Airbnb accommodations bad?” I’d say it’s because the man isn’t saying all locations are bad. He’s just saying Airbnb reviews are not to be trusted…….but I don’t want to be politically incorrect, so I won’t say that lest you accuse me of some sort of ethnic insensitivity.

How can a woman in her twenties not research an area that she’s going to stay in? Why does she not travel with a portable lock? Why didn’t you, as a local, research the area in advance for her? And why, just because this one place was in a rough location, are ALL Airbnb accommodations bad?
