I booked the place for 2 months.
I feel cheated by the host and Airbnb. And it is deeply sad especially when the host seems to be so cool and a good human. Then it turns out I was too naive and should have from the first day called Airbnb and report that the place is listed as an entire one but the host stays in there.
To sum up,
1) I rented the entire place, ended up in a shared place.
2) I agreed to cancel the booking which resulted in searching for a new place in the middle of my long term stay. This resulted in double the cost I had to assume on my own as all the places cost at least 500-600 EUR more.
3) From the begging, I only wanted to find a solution for a host who claimed does not how to block dates, that is why actually she rented the wrong place to me, as she meant to rent the basement. When I actually offered I will swap to the basement, She refused because that would be too much hassle to talk to each guest and ask them if they are fine to rent the ground floor ( I think now, also more hassle to deal with each guest and aks if the host can actually stay in the place as well.)
4) this resulted at the end of paying the host who listed wrongly place, double for the nights I was there. For the rate that I never agreed to. I did agree to cancel and rent a new place but I never agreed to a new rate.
Kristina listed the entire place which was not true. When I arrived she asked me if she can stay for a few days when she prepares the 2nd Airbnb (basement).
I agreed as it was supposed to be 3-5 days in July.
Then it turned out she was staying more days. She seemed a nice person and I wanted to help to find a good solution for both of us.
We agreed she will pay me back half the price for each day she stays in. The next day the same problem. She was stressed that she does not have a place to stay.
I proposed to her she pays to be 50% back on the upcoming nights and we will share a place.
She agreed to it.
However, when I sent her a message that she owns me 470 EUR she changes the policy for extra guests (she before listed the place for 2 guests and on the 1st day when I arrived she told me there is no problem with the extra guests but she will just them 10 EUR per night. I agreed to it, that was fair enough).
When I already agreed to share the place that I rented for my own, the host came with another issue "no guests". Then I said we need to find another solution. We ended up cancelling the booking.
We spoke on 22nd July that she charges me for 17 nights and will refund the rest. Then I asked her to cancel the booking, which she instead changed the check-out date. This resulted in recalculating the fare and I ended up being charged twice per each night (!!!)
The host suggested I should talk to Airbnb. Which I did. Then twice I asked Kristina to speak with Airbnb as well to explain to them the rate is wrong. She refuses. She sent me 100 EUR (I am still missing 146 EUR) and considered this case close.
