Unfortunately, Al appears to have made a calendar error. He contacted me after confirming the reservation to tell me that the first night was unavailable. He then instructed me to edit the reservation. When I told him that would make the reservation untenable, he insisted that I would have to be the one to cancel and that he couldn't cancel. This is despite the fact that I would lose a portion of the fee. I suspect he did this so he could avoid any repercussion from canceling on a guest. I had to reach out to Airbnb support to get it canceled correctly.
