On arrival at the apartment the host informed us that we were unable to stay due to a problem with the plumbing, despite us having confirmed our arrival time earlier in the day. He marched us to another property he had shifted our booking to, claiming it was better and that he had paid for the difference in price. It was not better, and in fact was cheaper and without the amenities we required. Whilst his intentions to provide an alternative property may have been valid, we felt railroaded into accepting the alternative, which we did not, despite the fact Taormina was pretty heavily booked. We were fortunate enough to find alternative lodgings (not with Airbnb) though it did cause us to incur much higher costs. We feel the host should have been more upfront and communicated honestly with us, though he did provide a full refund when requested.
