I was unable to stay at the property due to unfortunate medical complications. The host was notified about two weeks before the start of the stay but was unwilling to budge regarding the cancellation policy, stating that he was unsure of the reason, but that I could not get a refund so close to the start date.
I understand the policy, especially if the reservation in question is a few days or even a week-long, but refusing to cancel a month-long reservation with two weeks' notice is simply taking advantage of a situation.
I cannot give an opinion regarding the property itself.
