11. Is it safe?
Many people not familiar with Airbnb are concerned about the safety of house sharing. And with good reason: you don't know who will be in your home! What if that person is truly a criminal and takes you away?
A homemade home-sharing plan, such as listing your spare rooms on CraigsList, doesn't provide any protection, but Airbnb does. While not related to a criminal background check, the site has built-in protections like a review, identity verification, and insurance.
