On the day we were due to arrive host informs us of boiler issue and offers us a flat much further away in a shoddy part of town, with a discount. As we were in Edinburgh for a conference we needed to be central. Felt like a scam or he found someone willing to pay more for the same period and just jilted us. The city is full and we've had to bunk up in a single and expensive hotel room, that we were lucky to find. A distinct drawback of the Airbnb experience. Business travelers be warned.
