If a host deserves a 'zero ', it is Joana, who, due to HER perception of my COVID card not being valid, decided not to let me stay at her place on a rainy night when it was dark, and I had taken public transport to stay there as I had arrived late afternoon afterreceiving an almost immediateconfirmation from her.
What is incredible is that Airbnb allows folks like Joana to even be hosts. Basically, she stole MY money, even though she could have canceled after not accepting my COVID CARD. THIS IS A CHOICE THAT JOANA MADE...and all she could say was 'sory'????
I would warn you to stay away from someone so pedantic who obviously has no intention of weighing out anything that doesn't fit her nebulous criteria.
Can I really give her a '1' for cleanliness? I guess we'll never know . As much as I really wanted to give her a 'zero', I also believe it is up to Airbnb not to allow these kinds of situations to occur in the first place.
SO, WHO TO THANK? Luckily her neighbor who helped me get set
up--and drove--this 66-year old to a local hostel that had room for the night.
Thank you Anna, and I hope my tips for traveling in Albania serve you well! Airbnb worked well for me there.
