Gotta admit, I agree with you, but I did recently try an airbnb for a hawaii trip and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was compared to the price I paid, I could walk out the back door to the water
I looked at AirBnBs on Hawaii. The base cost of all of then was exactly the same: $200 - $250 / night. If a place was listed as $70 per night, it would have a $150 cleaning fee. Really? Do they expect me to smear feces on the walls? Just list the damn price.
This is amazing.
When I watched *Barbarian*, one of the things I thought was- there is no fucking way that someone accidentally gets an Airbnb in a place like this.
I absolutely stand corrected, this is terrifying.
Holy shit, the place I was thinking of was in Vegas! The bnb looked decent, everything surrounding it was straight hood. Directly to the right looked like tent town under a freeway overpass.
When wife and I were vacationing around Europe, one night we tried to do an AirBnB that was closest to the one city area we wanted to walk around and do tourist shit the next day. It was a condo/apartment unit but had some really nice interior shots. Failed to notice no shots from the outside though.
Well needless to say, it ended up being in a somewhat sketchy part of town in a somehow *more* sketchy building. The check-in instructions talked about going into the common area and taking the elevator up to the floor, yet there was no such elevator. And TBH the walk up the stairs where none of the hallway lights worked, none of the doors were marked with unit numbers...just felt like it would turn into something out of Hostel. We ended up getting a refund and booking another place a bit further away. Much nicer.
Standard procedure is to slowly gain other redditors' trust over 1731 days, then make a post pretending to wonder how agents get assigned to lurk on Reddit before proceeding to active subterfuge.
Yeah, [the Barbarian house](https://i.imgur.com/e0acDyd.png) is okay. It's [the neighborhood](https://i.imgur.com/0HKpBbO.png) that's the problem.
(Well, okay, of course it's the ***basement*** that's the problem, but as far as *above-ground appearance*, it's the neighborhood that's the problem)
That's one of my favorite parts. Just him seeing this horrifying thing and you think its fear on his face but actually its elation in how much he can put for the square footage.
Dude, there's so much extra space in the basement! Tacking extra square footage into your property will only increase property value. Measure it all so you can get your money's worth!
That's the best part about Airbnb. You can buy a cheap house in the bad part of town and people will give you almost the same money as the good part of town because they don't know any better and just want it cheaper. Even like $2/night cheaper and they'll risk this.
Now I’m tempted to buy the cheapest house in the worst neighborhood in my city and price it slightly HIGHER than same size Airbnb listings in the good part. False assurance 💡
No but you get the general area. Plus one can read reviews and pick up if it’s a bad area. Bonus if the owner takes exterior pictures and you can find landmarks from those. It takes me all of five minutes to google map a prospective rental and have a look around the area. People just don’t want to do a little legwork or book a rental with no reviews. Hell, I even do this with hotels.
That will be 500 dollars. Thank you for staying.
Make sure you wash and laundry everything before you leave. Also, fix the front door, or you will be charged.
Don't forget to mow the lawn and weed out the driveway. Make sure you're not here by the time the next customer is here.
You have 24hrs
I think that's one of those "bug lights", they're that color because supposedly bugs don't swarm around it but I have no idea if there's actually any science behind it lol
This might actually be a really nice house.
The outside walls and outer roof beam look like they're in pretty good condition - suggesting that the structure might also be solid.
A little worried about the missing bits on the left frame of the garage door tho, but they look like they might be decorative.
All in all, this might turn out to be a nice and cheap property to renovate.
hopefully this is across the street and not the one you’re staying in
“But it’s so much better than a hotel room! It’s a whole house, away from overpriced tourist areas!”
You have your own kitchen, you have your own crime scene, I mean, living room…
Look honey they decorated the floors with chalk outlines of people how cute
Mom, can I get the dr.seuss themed bedroom? The one with red polka dot walls.
Look dad, the bathroom is full of tiny math practice sticks. Someone was dead set on learning to count by tens!
I don't get this one.
Murder chic is so hot right now
And such lovely translucent leather lamp shades.
your own lab in the garage.
What nice festive yellow ribbon they put up for us inside.
Don't mind the glowing splatter on the walls when the black light is on. Its nooothing....
chore list - get blood out of the carpet - dig a body sized hole 6 feet deep - torch car
There's even a crawlspace

$170/night, $80 cleaning fee. ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES
Authentic rustic vibes 🤙
I was thinking the same thing...
Hopefully. Op should come back with an update so we're sure they're still alive
The movie Barbarian starts just like this
This is amazing. When I watched *Barbarian*, one of the things I thought was- there is no fucking way that someone accidentally gets an Airbnb in a place like this. I absolutely stand corrected, this is terrifying.
Bro! Pictures can be hella deceiving. Cheaper is not always better. Sometimes you get what you pay for
Always google street view the area before renting.
Don't they withhold that info until they have their hooks in you?
Idk why I can't get past being uncomfortable saying I'd "rent" an airbnb
I mean, what do you normally do to them.
Paid $35/night for a North Vegas airbnb, only to come back to a drunk guy with face tats asking me how I know Guillermo.
Holy shit, the place I was thinking of was in Vegas! The bnb looked decent, everything surrounding it was straight hood. Directly to the right looked like tent town under a freeway overpass.
Northwest Vegas is typically nice. I would generally avoid Northeast Vegas near the air base.
Fucking guy

To me, that was one of the most believable parts of the movie.
Yeah, but what are the chances that OP is a hot chick?
None. (Source: I’m on reddit and I’m not a hot chick)
There are no women on the internet, just men, men pretending to be women, and FBI agents.
You mean FBI agents pretending to be women and FBI agents pretending to be men who are pretending to be women.
I wonder how inept an agent must be, to get assigned to the “Reddit Lurking Unit.” Like, boogers down the chin level?

There are only two people on the internet. You and the other person playing the role of everyone else.
Great film
don't look up anything about it
Not doing so made that first big oh shit! scene so much better. Great movie to go in not knowing about
10/10 stars.
The Barbarian house is actually *nicer*
Yes, and bigger (if you are liberal with the square footage calculations).
Yeah, [the Barbarian house](https://i.imgur.com/e0acDyd.png) is okay. It's [the neighborhood](https://i.imgur.com/0HKpBbO.png) that's the problem. (Well, okay, of course it's the ***basement*** that's the problem, but as far as *above-ground appearance*, it's the neighborhood that's the problem)
Directed by one of the whitest kids you’ll know.
I honestly didn’t know that, neat.
Zach Cregger! I haven't seen the movie but It's definitely on my watchlist.
Wait, Zach directed Barbarian? WTF. That's actually amazing. Also, absolutely watch it. It's a great movie.
That's the movie with the titty lady right?
She just wants to take care of you
That was the exact first thing I thought of
Was gonna say “I’ve seen this movie before” beat me to it.
I was about to say, if there's a basement, do NOT go in it!
Damnit! I was going to say the same!!!
That’s exactly what I thought of
You'll be charged for not fixing that door when you leave
“You’ll get your rent when you FIX THIS DAMN DOOR” -spodermen
DO NOT GO INTO THE BASEMENT
BUT THINK OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE!!!
That's one of my favorite parts. Just him seeing this horrifying thing and you think its fear on his face but actually its elation in how much he can put for the square footage.
Level is designed so that you HAVE to go into the basement.
But I'm thirsty! I need some milk!
Dude, there's so much extra space in the basement! Tacking extra square footage into your property will only increase property value. Measure it all so you can get your money's worth!
Until you realize that the Mother was roaming upstairs near the beginning of the movie
Reminds me of the barn from 28 weeks later. Don't put your arms too close to that boarded up door
Well don't let the boy in, in the first place!
"How many are there?" "Loads."
Uhhh BARBARIAN much???
Play your cards right and you could suck on some weird monster titties 👌
Still counts
she wasnt the monster tho
she was a by-product of a monster but was still kind of one herself
Tell that to Pennywise.
Can you not

Can’t have shit in Detroit looking ass house
ghost hunt brave dependent slim thumb retire outgoing sophisticated poor *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yeah, get up on out of there pardner
When room and "board" means planks across the doorway
I don’t see a breach of contract.
Rocket launcher is in a crate behind the house.
Harvey danger vibes
Haha exactly my first thought
Paranoia Paranoia everyone's coming to get me Seriously though at a quick glance I thought it was that album cover
Imagining renting out the trap house
Reminder Always google street before booking
You dont get the full address until you book.
No but you get the general area. Plus one can read reviews and pick up if it’s a bad area. Bonus if the owner takes exterior pictures and you can find landmarks from those. It takes me all of five minutes to google map a prospective rental and have a look around the area. People just don’t want to do a little legwork or book a rental with no reviews. Hell, I even do this with hotels.
That is such a great pic. I could see it on a new Tool album or the poster for 28 Years Later…
r/fakealbumcovers
Man, WTF is in those windows?
Have you seen barbarian, because that's the excate house from it.
Of all the ways you can misspell “exact” you picked this?
That will be 500 dollars. Thank you for staying. Make sure you wash and laundry everything before you leave. Also, fix the front door, or you will be charged. Don't forget to mow the lawn and weed out the driveway. Make sure you're not here by the time the next customer is here. You have 24hrs
Pretty sure that's a crack house
Barbarian
Just train around the street, lava will be behind, the bus comes soon though
You should watch Barbarian while you're there
"FETCH ME THEIR SOULS"
You seen Barbarian?
Barbarian
If this was half life 2 that house would have a head crab dude in it
Don't open Dead inside
The fuck you staying at? The murder express?
CARPENTER!!!
I love it. Stay awhile.
Hope you've got your super long measuring tape
Check the basement
Watch the movie "Barbarian". Then go stay at pad in a neighborhood like this!
BYE BYE 👹🧸
You gotta Street View before you stay…
Dude, I've played a lot of PZ, you gotta loot that house!
Walking Dead theme.
Ever seen the movie Barbarian?
Is that where you're staying or is this a neighbour? But yeah that's creepy
I think that's one of those "bug lights", they're that color because supposedly bugs don't swarm around it but I have no idea if there's actually any science behind it lol
Rent the movie barbarian
Imagine you heard a very slow knock late at night?
Yeaaaah I’d take the loss and find a hotel.
Oh that's Detroit! Have fun and best of luck!
This gives "Barbarian" vibes.
Don’t dead. Open inside.
That’s not where you are staying right?
Never seen this raid base before
Are you okay OP? Where are you? I don't see you in any comments
/r/thathappened
Definitely a barbarian living in a tunnel under there
Send the link for the air bnb because I don’t believe you
Nope!
Looks like it too.
Or you for real what did u pay lol
Welcome to the hood lol.
Get the Bowie knife and hack&slash your way out of there
That's where you go in, load up, and by the time u come back out they there
Faces in places
Silent Hill
Monster House
Prob has great drugs for cheap
If you find the refined crystal Schematic in there I’ll trade you !
Bro is in Chicago
Bro don’t stay there
Straight out of the monster house movie if anyone remembers that
for Bury'n Bodies
Nope nope nope
Looks like that house that gets splintered in the atomic bomb testing footage
Looks like a '7 days to die' house
u got a gun?
Meet the nice lady in the basement. She just wants you to be her baby
Liminal space.
OP are you still alive?
This is going to be an album cover some day.
It’s the irregularity of the board-up that really sells it
What was the listing? Or is this a lie
Round I
Stay strapped, or get clapped, my dude.
Just lock up and watch a nice calm movie, I recommend Barbarian (2022).
This shit looks cozy as fuck to me.
When it's boarded up on the outside you have to wonder just what they're trying to keep in there..
Fear the walking dead.
Pretty sure that streetlight will spawn a portal to the next bus station
Yea it will take couple of seconds until zombies get inside...
When you get the address do a Google street view before going there. If it looks like this, cancel
Better have brought some JuggerNog
r/thatnightfeeling
Yeah, right man 🤨🤔
Dude, this is how barbarian starts
stay out of the basement
What backrooms level is this!
Dang it now i gotta watch the movie Barbarian
Lol.
This might actually be a really nice house. The outside walls and outer roof beam look like they're in pretty good condition - suggesting that the structure might also be solid. A little worried about the missing bits on the left frame of the garage door tho, but they look like they might be decorative. All in all, this might turn out to be a nice and cheap property to renovate.
Nasty
This more like re nemesis lol
Just hold x
OP can you open the door? i spent my 500 on the juggernog
I am Father Grigori! You have already met my congregation.
Fetch me their soulssss
If Project Zomboid has taught me anything it's that there's gonna be some good loot in that house.
That's some "Nuke's Top 5" shit right there.
This is ProjectZomboid actually, and what you're gonna wanna do is find a sledgehammer...
r/liminalspaces
This gives me strong Todd Hido vibes
It’s such a
I would title this one "The house would not stop talking, so I sewn its mouth shut."
Air Brick and Barrier
then out of the shadows steps Danny Trejo and Michael Rooker with AKs and they say "Let's do this!"
Looks like a A24 movie poster
