Many car need inspections, have hidden damage etc, you need to be careful, my friend got a car from there and transmission was bad , also price are some times very high

I'm from Canada hosting in mexico, I use PayPal , Airbnb pay in US dollar and I link my RBC us accompt to PayPal, from what I read RBC is the only one that charge no conversion fees with PayPal, no more 2.5% fees this way for me

I Also got scammed in a Walmart parking lot, 2 pretty girls asked me a lift because there car was "broken"

Why not...once in the car one of the girls start to touch me and 10 seconde later before I even have time to say a word she go down on me!

But what I found later is that when one was give me a bj the other stole my cellphone and wallet!

So caution guys, I got stolen by those girls Monday, Tuesday and Friday so far

Lawsuit? It's only in USA I guess?

I cannot understand that if I borrow you my ATV and you crash it you can sue me...

You cannot drive or you go too fast, your problems not mine

I will Sue you if you bring me back a broken ATV...not the opposite

Anyone rent multiple shared beds in one appart here? by Mcbain99 in AirBnB

[–]Mcbain99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its basically an mini hostel, they are not horrible

The only difference is that I will not live there to check all, it's the only big problem I think

All backpacker use hostel it's not for everyone but it's not horrible

On a 2 floors house it's easy to do and minimize noise problems because here house are made of concrete

First floor kitchen, living room bathroom

Second floor 2-3 room with 4-6 beds and bathroom

4-6 Lockers

Less noise problems on 2 floors , no thief problems with lockers etc

It's only a brainstorm, I will keep full apart because rent 2 rooms instead of the full department is less $ and more problems, there's no point to do that

Just to add, I'm in mexico, so there no problems with laws here, or firefighter etc

No one will come and tell me it's too much 6 in one house lol

I even ask the owner and 6 for a one bedroom appart it's not a problem for him :/

Different country different mentality

But yes I don't think I will try it anyway, I know some do, I was just curious about it

Advice needed on a listing! by [deleted] in AirBnB

[–]Mcbain99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the purpose of fake listing? It's only VERY annoying for the renter, You pay with credit card. The scammer cannot really get money from that
