And that, dear Airbnb, is why instant book is a personal choice and Chicago city council, we must retain the right of refusal.

I would not use IB for a full home rental. Shannon just had that: a group of elephants, ah persons, booked, broke the bed and stole things. She got some refund and is now fighting to get the revenge review taken down. If you see some guests, you are in shock and have a very fadt decision to make: slam the door and call airbnb quicker than they do or let them in hoping the best.
It's not only IB though: the couple that flooded my home and destroyed dishwasher and pipes, had booked normally. (I was just reminded of them as the new dishwasher stopped working last week, 25 months after delivery. ) With them, I thought 10 minutes after arrival, if I should better kick them out. But you can't, without a concrete reason. And they looked a bit nicer than your guy, Deborah.

What I found inexpicable about this situation, was that the host let this guy into the house. If he had used someone else's ID to book, I would think he used someone else's photo to book (if he had used a photo like this one in the news story...welll let's just say there would be some "red flags" for me....). So then it would be a case of the host asking himself, if the person who showed up was really the person who booked. Or did the host foolishly not meet the guest at all but just arrange for this thief to let himself into the house with keycode entry?
And yes, Innanna, this is why we want to avoid IB and retain the right to decline guests to stay in our own homes! Just tell that to Chicago.

Most of my guests look just like him and I'd rather that than the buttoned down businessmen type who takes his one-night stay way too seriously for his little piddly money. 👹 $
