I have mixed feelings about my stay at William’s Airbnb.
My booking was from 22nd June until 23rd July 2022, and as I managed to find in two weeks a permanent unfurnished apartment, William convinced me to move out so he could rent out the two weeks I left earlier my booked room at his Airbnb so that we could split the money 40% him and 60% me.
So on the weekend of 10th July I rushed myself to move out as fast as I could in a completely unfurnished apartment.
The next days as I checked with him, he said nobody was booking and that he needed to paint the room instead, leaving me speechless.
As I checked if the room was listed out, it was not listed and the answer I would get was nobody is booking after convincing me the week before that 100% the room would just go away ASAP as there is incredible demand.
And I never heard back about the room booking, but only about people all of the sudden canceling in August and coming months, which had nothing to do with my booking dates.
As I feel played and taken advantage of by trusting William, I asked him to have a refund of the two weeks I gave him my room and my money, he said he couldn’t.
This episode caused me a great deal of stress, as I wouldn’t have moved out two weeks earlier and stayed until the end of my booking and in the meantime furnishing my place without rush and stress I had to deal with because of the trust I put in William after he convinced me about this great plan.
Absolutely angry and disappointed and
I am not rich enough to give away two weeks of Airbnb rent in the most expensive city in the world.
This was his idea to get back some money to help me, and instead he just took advantage of me because I trusted him.
I couldn’t let him go away with it, so this is my review of my stay.
