What bugs me in this thread is that the whole idea of airbnb is cheaply stay in someone's property with "air bed and breakfast" (of course some properties are pricey but in genereal it just another category of bookings than general airbnb hosts).
Air bad and breakfast type of hosts could not be reliable by definition. If you want a predictable experience you will get a better luck working with professionals (either hotel chains or high end local hotels). It is a solved problem.

No, that was the whole idea in the beginning, now "AirBNB" is a high-value brand, built on the idea that you can stay anywhere at any price level like it's your own home.
