Had to cancel the booking due to extenuating circumstances beyond my control. The host asked if we could come to an agreement where she retained half of my payment which I agreed to as I am sympathetic and fair. However it has been 10 days since I requested half the refund and the host has been avoiding all communication with Airbnb almost in an attempt to get away with not paying half either. I have wasted enough time and energy on this and will now be requesting my full refund as I am well within my rights under Airbnb’s extenuating circumstance cancellation policy.
