Due to the current circumstances, I was unfortunately not able to take my trip and check into the apartment. I had booked this apartment for a long-term rental as I had to stay there for a longer period of time. I tried to explain to the host that due to the difficult situation and the increased movement restrictions, there is a high probability that I will not be able to travel. I had also not asked for a refund because I wanted to find a solution together with the host that would benefit both of us. I had suggested that we could postpone the dates for a month with fewer total overnights and a surcharge. Also I proposed to find someone else to replace me for the period already booked, of course entirely on my responsibility.
Unfortunately, the owner had shown no understanding at all and no readiness for a common solution.
