Episode 62: Guest LJ Fitzgerald; Breaking Bad, Sugar Skulls and Pot Belly Pigs in Phoenix?
Description
An Arizona host caught guests turning her Airbnb into a meth and crack distribution hub when she discovered fake IDs and drugs in a box left on the porch. Police arrested the couple mid-operation - the boyfriend was in the backyard contacting buyers and giving them the address while the girlfriend was out. Both had active warrants and went to jail.
LJ Fitzgerald runs a pet-friendly Day of the Dead-themed rental near Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. She talks about meeting every guest after that incident, keeping popsicles in the freezer for triple-digit heat, navigating Arizona's brutal summer-winter rental season flip, and planning desert hiking experiences once Airbnb finally approved her - six months too late, in the middle of summer when nobody hikes.
