airbnb and browser compatibility
I have just been trying to book an apartment in Budapest via AirBnB.
Failed. I think I've managed to register, but if I attempt to book a place, I end up back at the AirBnB homepage and no response comes back from the property owner. I have tried three different browsers with the same non-result. There is supposed to be an app for iPhone, but it's for iOS 7 and up so I can't run it (mine uses iOS 6). Maybe I could search around and find somebody local with a browser that AirBnB works with, but the booking would be a disaster waiting to happen. When you're travelling you might end up using almost any kind of hardware and software, and with almost any ancillary site being banned by some foreign government. So if something went wrong when I was in rural Hungary I'd be up **** creek without a cookie. A booking site like this needs to be as portable as possible, and AirBnB seems to have ****ed up portability as comprehensively as they conceivably could. What are the alternatives? (Right now, for Hungary). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

I have tried three different browsers with the same non-result. When I first started using AirBNB, their Javascript was incompatible with Internet Explorer 8 and FireFox and Safari. Now, on Mac at least, it seems to work OK. Before they fixed it, my trick was to 1. let it do its thing to get me into a search page, then 2. turn off the "search when I move the map" 3. use the map to get to where I really wanted 4. click "Search at this location There is supposed to be an app for iPhone, but it's for iOS 7 and up so I can't run it (mine uses iOS 6). Been a few months since I tried their iPhone app, but then, it sucked. -- Wes Groleau |
