I booked and paid for 5 nights stay to visit the Biennale.
I was compelled to move out after 3 nights as the host was unable to remedy an issue with the bedding - bad smell.
I gave notice in advance, the host did not seem to take the opportunity to re let the place.
There was an attempt to remedy the issue but the replacement had the same issue.
We clearly disagreed on the smell but my request for clean, fresh smelling bedding was not unreasonable nor impossible to fix.
Host was not very cooperative or friendly throughout the process.
I spent alot of my holiday searching for alternative accommodation, moving and of course I had to pay for another place.
I requested a refund for the 2 nights I did not stay at the host's place, Airbnb supported my decision.
Since returning home host has attempted to reclaim the refund taking up my time and that of Airbnb.
It is unfortunate that the host managed the situation in this way.
There are numerous other options in the same area, great standard, less than half the price.
I don't recall ever having to write a bad review previously in some 10 years using Airbnb.
