A few days before leaving for a trip, I received an unexpected email from Airbnb: My host had sold my vacation home. “We’re reaching out with the unfortunate news that your reservation was canceled,” it said. “Your refund is on its way.” But wait: I didn’t want my money back. I needed a place to stay while I was out of the country. Airbnb assured me I had nothing to worry about.
