Re: Relocating to Seattle from Baltimore Area
Just rent a little microtel in Seattle and fly home every other weekend. Why would you even consider buying, much less til after your wife joined you?

Re: Relocating to Seattle from Baltimore Area
For the past several months, I have been interviewing for a role in Seattle. I was unsure about moving, but the company is highly sought after so I continued interviewing not really thinking I would get the offer. Well, I went to on-site interviews last week and secured an offer! The pay is well ab...

Re: Huge AIrBNB Cancellation Charge
Let's think about that. Let's say the host realized he had posted the wrong dates, and the room wasn't in fact available, and he realized this a couple hours later. I'd hope the renter would say, hey, no problem. I haven't made any plans yet. Stuff happens. Thanks for letting me know right away as o...

Sure, he will learn a life lesson. But he would learn it even if owner refunded him all but $100-$200.

Re: Huge AIrBNB Cancellation Charge
I’m noticing three repeated fallacies in these comments 1. People call this policy covert, hidden, or act like it wasn’t shown to the user. In fact, it says very clearly ON THE SAME PAGE that one month isn’t refundable. I’ve attached the screenshot so we can stop acting like Airbnb hid something. T...

Re: Huge AIrBNB Cancellation Charge
Seems some people are missing the OP’s son cancelled within 2 hours part. I can’t believe anyone would think that the host is justified in collecting $1200. This isn’t a hotel where he’s cancelling 6 hrs before his reservation. He isn’t walking into the rental on day one and saying I don’t like the...

Re: Huge AIrBNB Cancellation Charge
This may be strictly the OP's son's fault, but the complete contempt with which the organization and the host treat their customers is Exhibit A as to why I've largely stopped using VRBO or Airbnb Hmm seems strange.
