I contacted the host at 9am the morning of check-in, to ensure everything was ok for our visit and to confirm the check-in process. They told me no issues, and said I could even check in a little early if I wanted.
45 minutes before the check in time, I received an email from airbnb telling me I had been refunded for my trip. No explanation. I contacted the host asking what happened - they told me there was a flood.
Very upsetting to arrive in a new city and suddenly have to scramble for accommodation. I do not understand why there was no communication about the issue, and why I had to reach out to them to find out why I was suddenly without a place to stay.
