The 1-star review is reflective of the lack of communication and transparency with the host. Sure his accommodations are beautiful and comfortable and the location is great, however having a host that fails to communicate and is dishonest and gives you a room that was not originally booked and doesn't even tell you, until you notice, is simply unacceptable. The host upgraded us to his penthouse the first night, which we were excited about and which was stunning, however in retrospect should have asked why. Then he messaged us that night stating the next day he would move us back to the listing "I had rented", and although an inconvenience bc we had already unpacked everything and he hadn't mentioned it was only for 1 night, we wanted to be cordial and give him the benefit of doubt so we didn't complain. Then he showed us into "the room I rented" and he didn't even tell us it wasn't the room I had originally booked, (which had significantly more amenities such as a balcony and living room, the one he gave us was a studio) I had to bring it up myself when I noticed. When we inquired he stated it was because the other room was under repair and that is why he upgraded us the pent-house the first night. However, he never mentioned any of this before, never explained, it was just done as if he was doing us a favor, when in fact it was an inconvenience (we mentioned this to him but he never responded). I am very disappointed by the lack of communication and transparency of this host. I expect more professionalism from Airbnb hosts, I have used Airbnb for years (since 2016) and have never had a problem until now. As mentioned previously the stars aren't for his apartment listing which is comfortable and beautiful and in an amazing location and we would have very much enjoyed if only he had been transparent and had actually communicated with us.
