093 | How To Handle An Airbnb Disruption Like a Boss

Stephanie Ritz

In this Fearless Traveler episode, I’m giving you an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at what happens when Airbnb life gets messy—literally. After arriving in Liverpool and settling into what I thought would be my cozy home for the month, a massive rainstorm decided to test my patience and my ceiling! Tune in as I share how I handled not one, but two ceiling leaks, navigated Airbnb’s AirCover policy, and ultimately scored an upgrade to a city-center spot without paying extra.

This isn’t just a story about leaks and logistics; it’s packed with tips to help you handle Airbnb disruptions like a pro. From documenting issues to negotiating with hosts and making the most of AirCover, you’ll walk away feeling ready to tackle any curveball travel throws your way. Plus, I’ll share a 🔥 hot tip that saved my budget and sanity. Rain may have dampened my plans, but a little resourcefulness turned it into a win—and it can for you too!
