#Woman Realizes Her #Airbnb Renter LIED When She Returns Home On New Year’s Eve
———————————
A #California #teen is officially banned from using Airbnb after he lied to his host about his age, so he could throw a huge #NewYearsEve party at her house.
“He seemed very mature and was very polite,” Airbnb host Reshma Vasanwala said of the “man” who rented out her house in #Oakland last weekend.
According to Vasanwala, the person renting her house for New Year’s Eve was an older man from #Chicago, just visiting for a day or two.
As it turns out, the renter was actually a teenager from #Berkeley, who invited more than 200 friends to Vasanwala’s house to celebrate his 18th birthday.
Unsurprisingly, the night didn’t end well and Vasanwala came home to find that the #teens had completely destroyed her entire house in a matter of hours.
“If it had gone on for two to three more hours, who knows, could have burned down the house,” a #neighbor said later, according to ABC 7.
Vasanwala was forced to race back home on New Year’s Eve after a neighbor called and warned her that several #policeofficers had showed up to her house to break up the #birthdaybash.
By the time Vasanwala and her partner arrived back home, all the #party guests had already fled the scene.
The teenage renter, however, actually did return just in time for #police to arrest him on the spot for #vandalism.
Since the party last weekend, Vasanwala and her partner have been shocked to see how many #teenagers keep showing up to collect personal items they accidentally left behind.
“Audacity was beyond me. Like really, you’ve done this to our home and you’re concerned we’re not giving you your sweat jacket right away,” Vasanwala’s partner, Jim Santi Owen, said.
After Vasanwala complained about what happened, Airbnb released the following statement:
“We have banned this guest from Airbnb and our trust and safety team has reached out to the host to work with them under our $1 million host guarantee.”

There are thousands of hidden gems on Airbnb, and while I was doing my research for my Tokyo trip, I’ve found these ones. Although they are all booked up for the dates I wanted, I have decided to keep my journal public for myself to refer to, when I need them for my next trip. If…

I find the spread of Airbnb to be as fascinating as it is controversial – I suppose I’m just not as excited about having complete strangers live in my house with me as some people. Anyway, in this post, I’ve taken data scraped from the Airbnb website (by Murray Cox in January 2015 – see data source) to show the distribution and prices of listings in New York City. Note that listing locations are inexactly geocoded; they can be off by a couple hundred feet to keep them anonymous. As such, the price maps should be interpreted more generally than by specific census tract. For example, some rentals appear in Central Park, though it’s very unlikely that they are actually located within the park. (Come share my zoo bench!) So take the geographic accuracy with a grain of salt.
I find it interesting that the kernel density distribution, which is itself a spatial generalization and thus less prone to the effect of inexact locations, does not mimic the population density of New York (http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/pdf/census/census2010/m_pl_p2_nta.pdf). The highest densities of Airbnb listings are in the Lower East Side/East Village, Upper West Side/Chelsea/West Village, and Greenpoint/Williamsburg.
