Airbnb would be great if it weren't for the damn cleaning fees and other assorted crap tacked on from the price that is shown when you search for a place. "Hey this is in my budget! Great! Lets go ahead and book it...hey why did the price triple now???"

Get the host details off social media and arrange a direct price

That's a great way to scammed.

Organizing on social media is probably a bad call, but many hosts have direct booking sites that they’d love to have people book through since they don’t have to pay the airbnb (or worse: VRBO) overhead.

The direct booking sites come free with most of the property management systems out there: Guesty, Hostaway, etc. so most hosts have them, they’re just not allowed to advertise it on the online travel agencies (Airbnb etc).

In the US there is now a filter that allows you to see total price (excluding taxes): https://postimg.cc/hQxbkgnm

I'm not sure how this keeps getting brought up. There is a large thread started by @pitdesi on Twitter that sort of got it directly addressed.
