Just had an Airbnb cancel on us in Japan 1 week before our trip... Won't be doing that again after seeing how little Airbnb gave a shit
I've heard a lot of people having this problem. Airbnb is next to useless, even with their guarantee.
Prices goes up, other hotels are booked solid, there are fewer options and travelers are left in the cold.
A big brand would be less likely to risk their reputation over $50 or $100/night difference if there's some new big event in the area
