    The last Airbnb I had “forgot” to mention that the complimentary wifi wasn’t working.

    Was fucking annoying as it meant we couldn’t stream anything and had to tether to our phones.

    They should discount that shit if it happens.

    Fairly positive every Airbnb we stayed at asked us to take out the trash and load the dishwasher. I think maybe 2 or 3 asked us to strip the sheets.
    Hotels same thing though, don’t leave it like a pig pen

    You cana and should complain to Airbnb with that. That's kinda a huge thing depending on where you are and why you need it. Could.be working

    I like hotels for when it's me and my wife traveling somewhere alone. I like airbnb/vrbo if there's a group of us going somewhere and we want to stay together.

    A smaller modem that you take with you that has your choice of isp.
    For example - you're with exetel use that isp along with your account details in a cheaper modem that you can use when travelling.
    That's how i'd be doing things.
    Also it works when you have your own cabin.

    Think you'll find that you're wrong.

    JVP brought both Melbz and i over here as we were looking for a new place to post.
    Now we're getting blamed for all sorts of stuff.

    If only you hadn't banned me from bigcricket you would have learned a few things about me.

    I would just run down to the front desk. They should be able to switch you to another room and probably give you some rewards points for the inconvenience

    Doesn't matter.
    AirBnB sucks because you look at paying for everything that is not going to be in your favour.

    For example you'd be better off obtaining your own cabin so that you can have your own modem and own stuff in a Big 4 caravan park.
    It's not going to cost you a lot of money.

    Otherwise look at purchasing a holiday home.

    Cheaper again. Because it's your own accomodation.

    this is good advice

    I should buy my own holiday home; it will be cheaper bc it’s my own accommodation

    What we used to do was spend time in Queenscliff and point lonsdale. Why? We wanted to be close to my old man's mum.
    My nan used to bake a shitload of goodies for us to take home with us.

    As she became sicker and older she couldn't do the baking anymore. So we had to help her often enough with medical appointments.
    There were times when she landed in hospital due to having some health issues.
    She ended up having another episode of this particular health issue that made her not leave hospital.

    But the reason why we got our own accommodation was so that we could go down to see her.

    we were better for it.

    When it got time for us to sell the holiday home we found it was the right time to do so.

    I'm suggesting you look into that idea so that you have a house of your own along the beach somewhere you like to go down to that doesn't cost you anything.
