If you thought that the biggest risk of Airbnb-ing your apartment was getting caught by your landlord or having a stranger go through your unmentionables, please take note.
New York comedian Ari Teman came back to his Chelsea apartment Friday — supposedly rented out to a guy whose brother and sister-in-law were in town for a wedding — only to allegedly find an “XXX Freak Fest,” also known as orgy, going on in his living room.
Teman promptly emailed the team at Airbnb:
Teman’s address was posted on a recently deleted tweet by @TWINN_GREEN that announced it as the site for the 10pm-4am, $25 “Manhattan XXX Freak Fest.” Not only was his furniture disassembled or thrown outside for maximum freaking space, but “it appears some stuffed animals were abused.” Teman chronicled his unfortunate findings on his Tumblr:
Just some food for thought for the next time you are thinking of renting out your room for some extra cash.
AirBNB provided the following comment:
Gawker reports that within 24 hours, AirBNB sent over a locksmith to change the locks, put Teman up in a hotel for a week, and wired the disgruntled customer $23,817.
