Horrid Airbnb experience - Part 1

We had been renting a room in our house for about 6 months.
We enjoyed the stream of visitors, yet we were looking for someone who could live with us on a more long-term basis.
B. entered our life and we were pleased.
He booked a room through Airbnb one week in, one week out.
We fell in love with the guy. He was a gentle soul, funny and a bit shy.
We had many things in common including our vision for the future.
We liked to have him around.
M. had started to introduce him to friends.
People appeared to appreciate him.
We had a trip planned. We were travelling for two weeks and a half or so. B. had lived with us for two months or so, we trusted him and so we agreed through the Airbnb scheme to leave him our home with confidence that all would be well.

Off we went.

Is it the appropriate language to use? I contacted Airbnb to let them know about B. - they gave me a call and kind of told me that I need to be careful with the people I am bringing to my home. I told them, yes but there was no indication...

I am so frustrated. it is unbelievable to have to do it all over again in presenting my findings. I find it extreemely tiring.
