credit card charged in euros?

I live in the US and my card is being charged in US dollars for my trip to Europe. Is there a way to change my settings so I can have it charged in Euros? My card does not have a foreign transaction fee and Airbnb's USD/EUR conversion rate isn't very good. I would rather pay in Euros, just like I do when I'm physically in Europe. Can anyone help?

Unfortunately you are charged based on your location and I assume your card is a US denominated card?

 

Even though when in Europe you pay in Euro - that transaction is converted back to US$ on your statement. Their exchange rate/fees may be more favourable that those used by AirBnB!
