The Kafkaesque experience of getting banned for life from Airbnb

That’s what fake IDs are for. It’s the 21st century – doesn’t everyone have four or five quasi-legitimate identity grafts?

Actual hotel rooms often don’t come with kitchen facilities and if you’re travelling with a family, it’s harder to find anything like an actual hotel with multiple rooms that’s not a luxury suite. Similarly, there are neighbourhoods without actual hotel rooms and if proximity is important for you it could be an issue.

It reminds me of the Jetson’s, Robot’s Revenge. (1985, Season 2, Episode 36)

In it, a single artificially intelligent robot dislikes George Jetson for tipping poorly and blaming him for it’s firing after providing poor services. The robot calls in a “code red”, causing all automated, computerized, and robotic services to actively block or work against him. Stop lights, vending robots, the police, everything in his world, even some other humans, turn against him.

It available to watch online, if one searches.

Trivial fact: there was only one season of the Jetsons in the 60s. The second and third seasons were made in the 80s.

Never assume you know someone’s financial situation. You don;t know how many cat trees he sells or what his expenses are.

A giant bedbug? Maybe he’d have got away with it if he’d merely turned into a giant cockroach. But Airbnb is not going to allow bedbugs, oh no.

If you are counting on Uber to be there you need to stop. Ponzi schemes don’t last forever.

Apparently he is also. Which is kind of the whole point.

From that doc, at least the hotel manager can override the denial.

Most extended stay properties have something like this. Marriott’s Residence Inn, Hilton’s Homewood Suites or Home2 Suites are examples of this. I’d avoid Extended Stay America though.
