Beware booking with this host, in unpredictable times.
Firstly, I was initially excited for this trip, and had messaged Katie at the time of my booking, asking for recommendations in the area. Katie did not reply.
Melbourne lockdown was unfortunately extended three days before my booking was to take place, which suddenly meant I could not complete the stay. I contacted Katie on the morning of my booking, to ask about how to receive even just a partial refund. Given the lockdown extension announcement three days prior, my stay wasn't able to take place.
Katie unfortunately refused to provide any amount of a refund, as she deemed it unreasonable that I was trying to cancel within three weeks of my booking.
In a climate where drastic measures and changes come into effect within hours, it's difficult to understand how I was meant to foresee cancelling this stay three weeks or more in advance.
I would suggest not booking with this host, or cancelling your stay at least three weeks in advance, if you're not 100% sure you can visit due to circumstances outside of your control.
