The AirBnB model is tricky. I've had friends wire $7,000 for New Year's Eve house last weekend, then "owner" disappeared. Apparently did it to 10 other renters

The AirBnB model is tricky. I've had friends wire $7,000 for New Year's Eve house last weekend, then "owner" disappeared. Apparently did it to 10 other renters for same non-existent house. AirBnB refused to honor any guarantee (some technical terms of use). But I know I'd rather book a hotel. Caveat that I know other friends who love it. But seems too risky for me.
