Was forced to cancel my reservation, they claim confusion in my part but there is a difference between sending a booking request and the instant book feature which I used. Also while I had a confirmation and was asked to cancel, it remained available for instant bookings in a new search. They asked me to cancel but a host should usually initiate a cancellation for mistakes on their end and they get penalized which they wanted to avoid. They just can’t manage their properties accurately unfortunately maybe it’s too many and calendars aren’t synced. Positives: it looks like the location is good and close to the Vatican. And they ensured I get a full refund. Airbnb support was helpful in the transaction as well. I booked two days prior… I guess book further in advance and send them a message to see if they want your stay or not. Good luck, as for me I will never stay with any “Sonder” property. Now cue the fake empathic response below blaming my confusion.
