Possible AirBnb Scams in Paris?
Hello, first of all sorry if this question is ignorant, but I have been planning to book AirBnb apartment in Paris for 2-3 months this upcoming fall.
I read your discussion about regulation, hotels and AirBnb from the other day and somehow still find AirBnb as the most suitable option for me. Yet, I am interested if there is any known info on fake listings and such scams.
I found these apartments for example; the photography is professional and the price is not that high (in comparison to other listings), so they seem like a sure shot. Yet, there is small number of reviews (even though those accounts have been active for longer time) and - in some cases - the cancellation period is only 48 hours.
Can you possibly help me in deciphering if these seem legit?
