You can read more about general safety tips and best practices for booking an Airbnb here. Additionally, all your communication can take place within Airbnb’s messenger, and should an issue arise, your conversations can be monitored by Airbnb’s customer service specialists. Rather than having to wire monthly rent payments, cough up the full payment up-front, or make separate payments for broker’s fees and utilities like many local agencies would require, the costs associated with your stay are clearly defined. For stays longer than a month, Airbnb automatically charges your stored payment method every 30 days, so you don’t have to make the full payment up-front. Hosts do have the option to offer discounts and special prices so there is still the ability for negotiation, and the terms of your stay will always be outlined very clearly when reserving your stay. One major benefit of booking a stay on Airbnb is that all transactions take place easily, conveniently, and securely within the platform.
