Sadly Max stole my money.
Due to Covid-19 I was unable to travel to or stay in Barcelona, but I neglected to cancel the booking on the Airbnb system.
I'm sure Max was aware of this as he would have seen the booking remain on his calendar - sadly he did not communicate with me once in the lead up to the scheduled stay.
I asked Airbnb to return the money and they were happy to if Max would agree - but he refuses to refund it.
These are very hard times and I'm sure Max is under great pressure like all of us - that he has taken my money in such a dishonest fashion has hurt me immensely though.
I'm sure his apartment is nice and deep down he's a good person. This has left me feeling deeply saddened though and as I've had no proper support or compensation I've had to put my account up in public.
