The property is nice, there are some minor issues (cracks, a blind half falling down) but overall nothing I would normally mention.
The host let’s this down, to expect access from 3pm and getting in at 4am is not pleasant. Walking around in an unknown area in the dark and cold with your suitcases throughout the night is not what you want when you go away. The host just wasn’t contactable.
Afterwards he seemed quite pleasant and we arranged a refund. I said it was likely an honest mistake so would leave good feedback if this happened (as it would have been rectified). This the host agreed to and asked me to raise a request via Airbnb, this was done but not actioned. Next he asked for my bank details, again these were promptly provided but still no refund. Two weeks later all my messages are being ignored. I now believe he was trying to string it out to miss the feedback deadline. Luckily this transaction was made via a credit card so can reverse if required.
My warning is be careful when dealing with this individual - he does not have an honest character.
