Our stay was complicated by an unexplained price increase during our booking. Our first booking was cancelled for some reason and we were encouraged by Marc to immediately book again, which we did. The second time however, the price had increased. Airbnb informed us that the rate for specific days was increased after the first booking. We really liked dealing with Marc who was responsive and an empathetic host. This predatory practice has been increasing on Airbnb with hosts advertising at one price, but then rejecting bookings to only wait for rebooking at a slightly increased rate.
