Nantucket AirBnB SCAM - Shame on Airbnb!
My friend and her daughter were totally scammed by an AirBnB listing on Nantucket last weekend. It was advertised as a separate apartment, but the front door, kitchen, small common area and bathroom were SHARED with two other bedrooms. To make matters worse, these were grown men who work at the restaurant owned by the AirBnB host. This is totally misleading and a complete lie and horrifically UNSAFE for a woman and her teenage daughter.
AirBnB was contacted and they refunded the money, but they took no other responsibility and blamed the owner (who blamed AirBnB) and did not work to help them find a place to stay even though they were completely STRANDED. The entire island was SOLD OUT (this happens on Saturday nights in August on Nantucket) and they ended up staying in a neighbor's extra apartment that took pity on them standing on the side of the road trying to find a place to stay. Thank God there are kind, caring people out there!
The address of the scam is 32 Appleton Road on Nantucket. Do NOT stay there. Link to the listing is below.
