>So apparently it had A/C in bedrooms but not other areas. Host suggested leaving doors open and having a fan redirect air from bedroom to living area. Looks like guests were looking to work while on a trip, so wanted and expected A/C throughout.

But was the listing for the whole house, or a bedroom?

Like I said, split the diff. It wasn’t outright deception but it also wasn’t up front about the totality. It didn’t explicitly say either it only had AC in bedrooms nor did it claim to have Central AC.

Plus it was $60/night. Don’t expect Hilton class accommodations for 60/night.

agree 100 percent. Split it. keep the customers happy, but the owners need to make a little too. Fair is fair.
