Was originally supposed to stay at one of the host's apartment, but on the morning of moving in, he transferred me to another of his apartment saying that the neighbors of the first apartment had some construction work going on, thus water supply would be cut off quite frequently. I thought it would be fine as the second apartment wasnt too far away from the first and from the pictures looked decent.
Upon reading up reviews on the 2nd apartment, i realized that the immediate vincinity around the apartment is pretty dodgy (drug usage) as feedbacked by some people. Feeling unsettled i tried to cancel the reservation via the Airbnb application but was unable to as he did not update the change of apartments on the Airbnb server and possibly because it was too late. I also tried contacting the host directly via a few platforms such as: Airbnb messages, Whatsapp and also calling him. But he did not give any reply.
Even up till the pre arranged time of him supposedly passing the keys to me, i did not receive a single reply from him.
Had no choice but to call the Airbnb helpline to help with the cancellation and spent a bomb with the roaming fees. But thankfully they were able to address my problem and provided solutions to it.
All this time i had no choice but to camp out at a Macdonalds for the free wifi and with no gurantee of another accomodation.
Overall a very very bad experience with this irresponsible host.
