I had a terrible experience.
We booked this place for 3 - 5 May. On 3 May at 12:30 pm, I informed the host that we have arrived in Paris, and asked questions on how to check in. The host replied on WhatsApp, and explained the details, even how to use the pin code etc. Then, all of a sudden, at 12:44 pm, I received a message from the host stating that our booking was cancelled. No reason was given. I had to book another place, with luggages on my arms. And I had to paid twice, because the reimbursements take 10 days or so.
When I asked about the reason, the host replied me that there was another booking before me, even though I booked the place 2 days earlier, that it was confirmed, and we even exchanged messages on how to get in just 15 minutes before the cancellation. I do believe that they have found other people who would pay more, and decided to cancel me.
What is even funnier that on 5th of May, I received another message from the host stating that “I need to leave the house immediately, as the cleaning ladies will come before other guests arrive”. I had to remind them that they have cancelled me, and I could never stayed in their place. They think that they could run a business with airbnb, but the whole team is a complete joke.
