[quote=Anonymous]We have stayed in AirBnBs on several trips to Europe. We have never had a true problem. Some places felt more worn and tired than the photographs, which is likely a result of a stream of visitors over a few years since the photographs were taken. In a couple of places we have had inconveniences -- no soap or toilet paper when we arrived, for example -- but others were fantastic spaces, in wonderful locations, with lovely and personable hosts.

I concur with reading reviews carefully and making sure the photographs are clearly (as close as you can tell) all from the same space. I tend to choose the places that seem to be owned/run by a person who has at most a handful of listings, rather than a management company that has lots of listings in the same city. That may not make a huge difference in avoiding scams, but I can't forget a story about a set of scam listings across London from a few years ago.

Another approach would be to use vacation rental companies -- we have used one in London several times and there are similar services in Paris. These are actual, licensed businesses so much less worry about phantom listings -- prices are higher, though.[/quote]
