Unfortunately no, Airbnb charges a service fee to those who want to use their platform. The hosts are the ones getting the vast majority of the money & they get the full amount of the entire stay on the first day of the guest's trip.

The scammer can literally take your money & run away the day you show up to find out you've been scammed.

Edit: Was a host until it was simply not worth the headache

Oof... Definitely something I was concerned about when looking at the place since it's a bit of a distance for me & knew I'd be quite frustrated driving all that way for an unwelcoming atmosphere for newcomers.

I'll keep this in mind if I ever choose to try it out but I've got nothing but positive things to say about my experiences with the two I listed.

Bonus mention for the Philly circus school if you want to do more with sling/aerial arts in general. Most expensive out of them all but fantastic folks.

Secret Circus (sketchy area but very solid place) & Awakenings Pole studio in Manayunk!

I haven't been to either in a long time but I definitely enjoyed my time at both places. Only stopped going due to money.

Was planning on going back & trying out Amrita. Any particular reason you didn't enjoy it?
