Don accepted my booking, and only then called me to explain that he had overbooked, and I would have to be moved to another property 50 minutes away for 6 of my 30 nights. This was frustrating, as the booking was for the next day and I would now no longer be able to book another property in time as I would have to wait for a refund.
Despite this, I accepted his compromise and enjoyed my first 11 nights in the property that I had booked. I then got a call from his housekeeper around 4pm, explaining that I would be moving the very next morning - and that I would now have to be there for 10 nights instead of 6.
As this was no longer anything close to what I had booked I nicely asked about negotiating an early departure + refund, which Don immediately refused and begun to fight - refusing to admit any responsibility from his side.
From this point on, he made no effort to appear friendly and claimed I had "soured the relationship" by requesting this.
After I escalated the issue to Airbnb, he became more open to negotation and (After first trying to kick me out with two hours notice!) agreed to me leaving the next day for a partial refund.
The property was nice, maybe a little old. Don was an absolutely terrible host.
