I am currently sitting in an apartment I rented for a week from AirBnB. Overall my experience has been positive and I would rent again.
First apartment owner I attempted to contact never replied, so had to cancel. Next one worked out better, although I had to mail twice to get a reply. The listed price of $90 / night in Boston turned out not to be true, there were hidden fees in addition to this. AirBnB adds a fee which is not included in the listed price, and the apartment owner also had their own cleaning fee.
But these are small things considering we got a gorgeous apartment, more spacious and at a lower price than a sterile hotel room. This story is not yet over though, as we haven't yet checked out.
