As our first travel experience since the start of the pandemic, I was very much looking forward to this stay and booked it far in advance. After scouring all available listings on Airbnb, I eventually chose this one specifically for the decor, ambience and patio. Upon arrival we were given a different unit (which was okay but had no ambience, and overall was just distinctly different) and told it was due to a lack of hot water in the original unit. Unfortunately, this seemed suspicious as we could open a window and look down into the patio of the original unit we booked - with people staying there! To make matters more suspicious they even hosted a loud party down there on our second night which we could hear late into the night. Upon trying to rectify the situation initially, we were offered a free breakfast at the cafe downstairs (which didn't fit into our schedule). We were also told we would be sent restaurant recommendations which never came. As a Airbnb host myself, I understand mistakes happen. Still, I didn't appreciate feeling lied to and honestly I wouldn't have minded a lack of hot water at all (if that was actually the case). I had great expectations for this special trip, and in the end felt like booking this Airbnb was a mistake.
