Disappointing outcome with Air B&B - The system did not allow me to pay for a change request, after many requests to do so., and taking it up with the host, and Air B&B support.
The host then gave the earlier booking away, which was massively inconvenient for me, as i had to go to another location, check in there, check out there, and then check in again at the original location. (The host did provide me with the other location, and gave me a small discount, but i feel this was not sufficient compensation for the inconvenience caused)
I feel i was open in all communications, and tried my utmost to pay up front. The host could have told me they are about to give the apartment away, which they did not do - I was simply told to take it up with Air B&B support, which never came back to me, resulting in me not being able to pay, and then losing the apartment for the day I made the change request for.
The apartment itself is lovely.
