Almost half of Airbnbs lack this safety device that could save your life
Many Airbnbs are lacking essential safety devices, particularly carbon monoxide detectors, which can prevent poisoning incidents. A significant percentage of vacation rentals do not have these detectors installed, despite the risks associated with carbon monoxide exposure. As travel season approaches, experts recommend that travelers consider bringing their own detectors for safety.
