Tina’s appartment is cozy and has a good location.
However, our encounter was very unpleasant. I tested positive for Covid-19 on the second day of my stay. I informed Tina and we agreed that I take some precautions, like staying in the room most of the time, wearing a face mask in the common areas (kitchen, living room), using separate cutlery etc.). After 5 days, she complained to have a headache and accused me for not keeping our agreement properly. I found that unfair because I tried to be safe and careful as much as possible. We had an argument. I felt I can no longer stay in an environment like that and decided leave the next day, about 5 days earlier than planned. Tina sent me a text at 0.41 at night, suggesting me to leave by 8.30 the next morning. I found that discourtesy since the usual check out time on the profile was by 11.
The next morning I found a message from Tina saying that my food and kitchen stuff is packed in bags in the hallway because she has a conference call. She packed my things without asking or informing me first. Then, she shut the door of the common area and put on the radio. I said goodbye in a text which she never replied to.
I’m aware that contracting Covid in a situation like that makes everything more complicated, but I strongly believe that a host should not make a paying guest feel unwelcome, ashamed or humiliated. Especially, if the guest gets sick which is nobody’s fault. Afterwards, I contacted the Airbnb Support Team and I’m getting a refund.
