I wanted to just forget about what happened, but it won't benefit other Airbnb users , so I'll just share one of the things that is often a deal-breaker for many. In short, I was not comfortable there and decided to move out earlier; however, host decided to keep the money: no refund received. Host knew that I signed a lease to rent my own place on the day I arrived, and she knew I was planning to leave without staying till the end. I informed her of my decision to move out after spending 2 nights there, and I offered to pay for 3 nights instead of 2. She had been sending me many messages, but as soon as $288 refund was mentioned, there was no response. For more than 3 reasons I don't intend to share here, my stay there was not comfortable enough, and it was clear to me that I'd be more comfortable moving into an empty (furniture-free, WiFi-free) apartment that I had just rented. If I was comfortable at Janet's place, I would have stayed longer and used the time to prepare my new place (purchase furniture, set-up internet, etc) before moving in. I hope the information would be helpful to other Airbnb users. Thank you.
