The one Reader Comment that said staying in an AirBnB included the experience of "listening to footprints above" -- I notice sometimes people say "footprints" when they mean "footsteps."
You can hear footsteps, but footprints you can only see.
In the mystery books I read when I was grade-school age, the characters often found clues to the mystery's solution by studying footprints.
The Hardy Boys: Footprints Under The Window
The Dana Girls: The Circle Of Footprints

We're done with Airbnbs, it's back to normal hotels for me.
Last year my wife was staying in Glyfada, a suburb of Athens, Greece, and the place was broken into, money and jewelry taken.
We suspect it was the hosts, who may have had a camera in the apartment, as the thief knew exactly where things were kept and disturbed nothing else in the place.
The police were called and the hosts tried to blame my wife saying that she left the door opened, however, she speaks Greek and told the cops that she had made sure she locked up before she and her sister left to go see their father who was dying (which is why they were in Athens in the first place).
The girls left to spend the rest of the time in a nearby hotel, with a safe in the rooms I might add. What did Airbnb do about this? Nada.
My advice if you do stay in these places is to make sure that there is a secure safe to lock up valuables in and to check for hidden cameras OR just stay in a hotel.

Wow.
That's a Nancy Drew mystery book waiting to be written, right there.
(Love that the hosts tried to blame the customer -- she left the door open -- and she understood Greek, and set the facts straight!)
