🕘 9:26 AM, Cleveland, Ohio — Guests (who weren’t on the reservation) stormed out of our unit yelling:

“That’s what the f** we said. The reservation is not in our name. We don’t care. You wanna charge us for breaking your s***? That’s just gonna stop the other person from booking with Airbnb… Come oooon!!”*

😮

They admitted it.
They didn’t book.
They trashed the place.
They threatened us with a car in our own driveway.

---

This isn’t the first time this has happened.
It’s just the first time someone used their car as a weapon.

And what’s worse?
We waited over two hours for Airbnb to respond to the call.

---

We’re tired.
This is starting to feel unsafe.

We built this business to offer affordable, quality hospitality.
Not to get screamed at in our own homes.
Not to be threatened over a $90 booking.

We run the same exact model in Brazil.
Same price. Same system.
None of this.

So what’s going on?

💬 We’re asking the StayWithJay community to weigh in:

What would you do?

• 🔐 Should we require video ID for same-day bookings?
• 🚫 Should we ban late-night arrivals completely?
• 💻 Should Airbnb auto-flag identity mismatches for review?

Or…
Is this just the cost of hosting now?

Let’s talk about it.
Because if hospitality means putting your life on the line for a stranger who doesn’t even use their real name…

Then maybe we all need to rethink what we’re doing.

We’re listening.
And this is NOT normal
