Claire had warned me that there was some construction noise, but when I arrived at the apartment it was extremely loud and would have been a very unpleasant stay, not least as I like to sleep in – if you get up early in the morning and like to go out for the day it would be far less of an issue. Claire said she understood if I wanted to cancel, and she promised a full refund. It was very challenging to get this, and frankly puts me off AirBnB, and I only eventually got it when I accused AirBnB of theft. Claire was helpful and I appreciate her willingness to let me cancel and for her assistance – she recommended the wonderful Cavalieri Hotel, where I extended my stay three times because I enjoyed it so much – the reason it was wonderful is because of the view, peace, low prices and the fact that no-one is there.
