  1. Also there should be another investigation for in driver app since it allows irresponsible drivers to drive interntionally and put passengers at risk

  2. NBC will you still fire reporters who report the truth if it doesnt fit your twisted narrative? America is aware of you.

  3. screw airbnb, its true , the last rental I had was poorly maintained, no hot water and everything I touched broke, please sue them, and they charge all these stupid fees.

  4. Another reason to use certified accommodations. RIP to these victims. ❤to their heartbroken families.

  5. Hmmm… airbnb? You gotta go directly to the source. Im sure airbnb has the owner sign some type of agreement. Idk…

  6. AirBnB don't care. They will just say that they don't own the rental. I've stayed at many places without working smoke/CO2 detectors, fire violations and questionable safety concerns

  7. How is that airbnb's fault 🤔…..I don't get it …they don't even own physical properties…I don't get it 😒

  8. Im happy to hear this

  9. uber, abnb, lift, these are scam companies don't use them

  10. They wanted something on the cheap and now they are paying more. Next time, booked a 5 star hotel guarantee to satisfy you. You get what you pay.

  11. Another reason there are windows in my house I never close all year round.

  12. This is shocking. Carbon monoxide is not something most people think of as a potential holiday stay risk item. AirBnB need to do a lot more to address the quality of their host’s properties.
