This seems to have nothing to do with Airbnb. Wouldn't common sense tell you that even though it's "instantly confirmed" to get some other kind of confirmation before taking your whole family to Italy without speaking Italian?

Yes, but with the reservation only 24 hours old, I was hoping to get some sort of communication from the host by the time I was in the city.

BTW, as I have mentioned in the article, I was already in Italy and going from Rome to Padua.
