Airbnb aims to sort #SochiProblems through Twitter
Sochi problems have plagued the headlines over the weekend, with the rings faux-pas which saw only four of the five Olympic Rings light up during the opening ceremony leading to a lot of jokes. However, journalists have also faced other problems, and have taken to Twitter to complain.Lack of rooms and hot water have led to complains from news corporations such as ABC and National Post. However, Airbnb has taken to the social media platform to offer its services.The company offered up more than 400 rooms, as well as using agency Pereira & O’Dell to promote their offer.
CNN booked 11 rooms in one @Sochi2014 media hotel five months ago. We have been here for a day and only one room is available. #cnnsochi
