The host was utterly rude and unaccommodating. He was discriminative.
I wasn't worth his time. Our flight was delayed and he refused access to his property because the time wasn't convenient for him. He couldn't even come up with a self check-in and he refused to refund me. He specifically stated that for "only one night stay" he wouldn't make the effort. Eventually Airbnb understood the this was unacceptable and they gave me a full refund. Thank you Riccardo.
