In reply to The Dexter. 100% agree with you. How could anyone "assume" that 25 people could sleep, shower, eat, and just be in a space with a 9 person max. I don't care where the host said, it's just doesn't make sense to even ask. That's on you gurst, Boo Boo.

No amount of rebuttal changes the fact that 25 guests in a home that fits 9 is just stupid.

In reply to PeteM. I think you misunderstood the use of my words. I never said it’s your problem I just said if you do not believe it that’s on you or in other words (I do not care) if I took the time to write out every little detail you might see the reasoning behind the frustration. There are so many things wrong with this company. I will never ever believe someone claiming “everything will be perfect” again.

*if you do not believe this it is on you. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had anywhere.

Really? That’s what you say? You had nothing to do with it, right? Wow, just wow. Take a good look in the mirror at who chose this accommodation, and who tried to use this accommodation, and who paid for this accommodation. Certainly, it is not on us!! LOL.

Update:

We did get refund but only after the grounds people’s dog bit my mother. To you all saying how can 25 people stay in there comfortably when there are only 5 pairs of adults and the rest are small children it makes perfect sense. Even hotels will sometimes allow you to adjust the numbers of guests allowed in the rooms. We were misled have all the conversations through text with our host. The place wasn’t even licensed for short term rental we called the City thanks to a recommendation from Tom. Even after finding that they were illegally renting this place they still wouldn’t refund our money till after my mother got bit by a dog. We have no clue if the dog was even up-to-date on it’s shots the owner will not answer our calls. The only good thing about this experience was finally being able to put it behind us.

This was a poor case of communication. Rental says 9 maximum. The rental had beds for 9. I’m guessing the host read 2-5 not 25. Why would you ask about 25? Did you think people would sleep on the floor? What about bathrooms? Don’t blame the host for this one.

There are no legal short term rentals in New Orleans that can accommodate 25 guests- the maximum permitted is 2 per bedroom or 10, whichever is less

You might be able to arrange a buyout of a larger bed and breakfast-

Sounds like a terrible miscommunication that had little to do with Airbnb.

That time someone sees a Listing showing capacity of 9 and expects home to suddenly accommodate 25.

Where is your common sense? Doesn’t matter what the host says…. look at the Listing! SMH.
