This apartment is listed as pet-friendly & the house rules say pets are allowed.
When I initially made this booking, I forgot to include my pet. Realising my mistake, I went in to amend the booking to include my dog, & to my surprise , I was slugged a $150 pet fee! (There is NO mention of a pet fee anywhere at all in this listing)
Being a last-minute booking it was, regrettably, too late to cancel.
I completely understand & appreciate that in some instances, hosting a pet may lead to unforeseen damage or cleaning costs. This is exactly why Airbnb have host damage protection insurance, in the event of such accidental damage & the guest is ultimately responsible for, & charged for said damages.
Charging an additional $150 (not a refundable bond) to host a pet, & offering nothing at all (not even a dog bowl) for that cost seems exorbitant & unreasonable, particularly in the event that one’s pet is perfectly well-behaved & does not occasion any such damage. Definitely not pet-friendly
