The host cancelled by phone an hour before we were supposed to arrive. Left us stranded on the road, without a shelter. Host also tried to communicate with us outside Airbnb and offered us an option, again outside of the platform. After our explicit request, we were sent a non-working link and then got the official cancellation.
As I can understand a radiator can leak an hour before guest arrival, I cannot accept attempts to offer other properties privately. The latter has all the signs of a scam. I would’t book with them.
In order not to ruin the property rating I am giving 5 stars, but as an experience, I give one, as it was a nightmare to us.
