The host changed the property a day before check in. While the property is not far off, it was still further than where we needed to be at. Reasons provided were safety issues, however it could have been a case of double booking or the original property was used as marketing and never available to begin with. The new location was in a less accessible and rougher area, and did not match the value of the original property in the booking. It is against Airbnb policy for a host to change the property. We were travelling with a child and it was for a significant length of stay so we could not settle for the alternative. This was extremely distressing and we spent 1.5 days of our holiday wasted on trying to sort this and find another property at short notice. The host has no regard for the time, effort and money put into planning a family holiday. They are an agency managing service apartments and have the ability to swap bookings around to maximise occupancy to their advantage. Airbnb should not be allowing companies to operate as hosts, they ruin holidays and the Airbnb experience.
