I am sorry to say that this was a terrible nightmare!

I was told by the listing on Airbnb that "You will have full use of all other facilities including wireless internet". Yet, this is not the case. On the last few days of my stay, the wifi router was turned off by the host. This was extremely inconvenient and I had to go to public places like Federation Square for wifi.

What upset me more is the host tried to accuse me of using excessive wifi data to rationalise her selfish act before my check-out. I had checked my data usage (clearly shown on the router) very carefully every night (as she put high pressure on me for data usage when check-in) and I normally used ~100 mb per night and at most 200 mb. In contrast, I was surprised to discover that she used up 1 gb a day on one of her sick leave days while I was outside and all my electronic devices were taken out with me.

It is absolutely her freedom on how much data she used as she is the one who paid for the data. However, it is clearly unfair to blame me for the quick use of data when she used 1 gb data a day while I just used 100-200 mb data per night and deprive me of the right to use free wifi as clearly stated on her listing! She claimed that she had to "protect" herself and her guests. Was I not her guest? Was I not paying enough?

To be honest, I wouldn't pay AU$45 a night for such a tiny room without wifi. Wifi was my very primary consideration on booking this room. If I didn't see "You will have full use of all other facilities including wireless internet" on the listing, I wouldn't have booked this room. I didn't expect my stated right to free wifi was taken away so brutally for such a ridiculous excuse. I definitely deserve a refund for such an unfair treatment (I won't do anything further for this as I don't want to have any further linkage with the host after this review)! I won't stay at this place anymore or recommend this place to anyone!
