I’ve been using Airbnb for many years and this is the first time ever that I had such a a bad experience. The landlord had a really lame excuse to kick me out in the middle of the holiday weekend, when I had a friend to come over in the afternoon to pick up my luggage, she claimed that my friend will stay overnight when we clearly said it won’t happen. And it’s only 5 o’clock in the afternoon! I don’t understand how she claims that it WILL happen and she insist to use it as an excuse to kick me out!
However the Airbnb platform has responded very quickly and helped me find a new place right away, and after investigating the case, the platform returned all my money back(but the landlord refused to pay back so it’s all coming from Airbnb!)
Also the room is hidden in an strange office building, and I was asked by the door man if I’m staying in any “illegal” day rental? I had to say no to get into the elevator.
I’ve already reported this incidence to the local police and they said that it is not a legal residence and will start the investigation right away (the local police is very nice)
I will continue using Airbnb as most of my stays are pleasant but really need to watch out next time
