We booked the place for 2 week stay on the same day there was supposed to be check in. Also asked a few questions from host in advance, but as for a few hours no response - we went ahead and booked it. Money was taken from my account, but host then got back to me and said the place not being available and didn’t know how this had happened. Anyways these things can happen, but the money is then stuck with airbnb and you have to have more funds to book something new. Host gets just a warning but you are left without accommodation and money (as refunds take 5-15 days).
