This is the first Air Bnb I have stayed at in many many years that I had to cancel, possibly the only one ever. After talking with the host through messages, and booking as invited to, I received a message from the host Yan Xu, saying I had not paid her and the money was not in her account and Air Bnb had not notified her of the transfer as per usual. I told her the money had left my account. I confirmed also with Air Bnb the payment had gone through. Yan maintained that I was lying and so was Air Bnb, because she supposedly had not received the money, which I find hard to believe. She said that she would not check me in. At that point, being halfway from Tauranga to Auckland I had to cancel, as she was acting in a manner that I considered irrational - sending me angry texts with exclamation marks and saying she had not been paid when she had. She refused to refund my money initially, then several days later with me going back and forth with Air Bnb, she relented. I note she has very few reviews, and some of them are very negative. I have many reviews and have no negative ones. It is perplexing to me as why some people act in rude and dishonest ways like this, but there you go, sometimes in life that happens. I would strongly urge people to stay away from this listing and this host, as she caused me a great deal of stress and meant I had change my plans around at the last minute. Fortunately, its all worked out for me, but not without a lot of stress and chaos. Be wary of this listing and dealing with this person. I'd also add that there are no photos of the room on the listing and when I requested a photo of the room, as I like to see where I am staying before I book, Yan Xu refused to send any photos, saying she did not know how to send them or upload them yet there is a photo of the outside of the house. The tagline Yan has put on her listing is Mindfulness, which to me, as I am sure most will understand after my experience, seems rather ironic.
