We Don’t Care How Shady This Airbnb Listing Is, We Just Need A Place To Crash This Holiday Weekend
We’re so excited to find a place to stay for the Fourth of July, we’re going to ignore all the red flags about this vacation rental and hit reserve before someone else snags it. There is nothing strange about a quaint historic house where you can’t check in after 5 PM (closed for visitors). And the review that says, “Don’t stay here, it’s not a rental– The Betsy Ross House is actually a museum,” must be a guest’s revenge because the place doesn’t have a Keurig.
Never mind that some people noted: “The bathrooms are 17th-century latrines that don’t actually flush.” Even if this is true, we don’t plan on hanging out in the house much, we are going to be out the whole day touring Philadelphia. So as long as it has a bed and some musty blankets we can use for a few hours each night, it’s perfect. We’re also not letting this property slip by just because “hundreds of visitors will be in and out the whole day.” If some randoms want to see an exhibit of our toiletries thrown about the splintered floor because “there’s no nightstand,” we’re game.
We just need a roof over our heads. We’ll ignore a comment about the part of the house where water just pours in because “it’s not actually meant to be inhabited by anyone,” and just enjoy the fact that this Airbnb is…
