We have stayed in literally hundreds of Air BnB’s around the world and like you could write a book on what to look for in the listing, what to ask about, etc etc etc. I agree with everything you have said and because of the distaste we have with Air BnB, we are not going to be using them this trip. There are plenty of other avenues to follow :-). My husband has said I should write a book on what to look for and ask before renting from Air BnB so I am glad you have jotted down things that will help others.

We had a great month long stay at an Airbnb in Barcelona. Nice apartment, terrific neighborhood out of , but close to the heavily touristed area. Owner was always available by phone but didn’t have any problems.

We've had great stays at Airbnb's. Been renting in Europe since the 1960's. I use the methods I developed then when we had to write to rental agents and get paper listings back in the mail. Just be persistent and read the listing super carefully.

Here's a fabulous Airbnb I found in Marseille

I remember the photos you took there. I was definitely inspired to find properties with similarly beautiful views.
