1. After I confirmed 3 nights accommodation in the Airbnb, the host asked me to cancel the reservation and pay her privately. The host was unable to issue me with a tax receipt, so she suggested I cancel the booking.

This meant that I would bear all of the cancellation cost. The host explained she can’t cancel the booking, otherwise she would be penalised! Why do I have to bear the cancellation cost because she wanted to work outside the Airbnb platform?
To reduce my losses I finally changed my booking to one night, at a much higher cost. That was already midnight I was so tired to bargain with her anymore.

2..The host tried to negotiate with me about the check in time because her existing guest was going to airport at night and if possible he would be checking out until late in the evening. So When my schedule changed I keep contacting the host immediately to negotiate the check in late (much later than her published check-in time.

The next morning the host refused my request to check out one hour even half hour later than normal, due to I was busying with my job, I need a fews more minutes to pack everything…Unfortunately she complained that I was causing too much unexpected troubles to her,Excuse me? She said she was flexible to caring everyone’s schedule before I checked in..she negotiated with me the check in time but I can negotiate the check out time even half hour later! She requested that I have to check out at 11: am!Only if I paid for extra charge then I could extend the stay..otherwise any delay must be payable, BTW, I just asked for a cup of water after I checked in and I have no any other requests on any thing and I was just staying in room quietly.. why I was like a troubles marker to her.I have no time to explained ,packed everything and washed my face and went out the apartment within 15 mins in very hurry, Anyway still thanks for this host to give me 5 minutes more as she was thinking she have been already kind to me because I delay 7 mins…
3. No breakfast as her mentioned, even she was busing in cooking in that morning and made noise.

4. The bedsheet smelled, as if they had not been changed after the previous guest checked out,Hm.. I just stay for one night so maybe it was not necessary to change bedsheet for me, no worries I alway bring my own bedsheet for my trip , so this point is fine anyway. But!! Are clean bedsheets an unreasonable expectation?
5. The room was a little bit noisy because its closed to tram road but it was better after I put on my earphones.
6.Since I was too urgent to leave,Damn.. I forget my AirPods Pro in that room and I have to back to that nice place again to get back my stuff !
The above was my story..A very special experience of my trip in Melbourne.
I will remember how much embarrassing situation I was at that moment, just carrying my big suitcase without make up , walking on the street…just like I was pushed out of my room, with just 5 minutes to wash my face, this is the result of after paid a higher fee for one night accommodation.

Is this the typical Airbnb experience I should expect? I feel that the host misrepresented her place and her actions breached Airbnb’s hosting terms and conditions. I should be entitled to a complete refund and compensation for my additional accommodation costs. As for the host, she should be removed from your platform immediately.
