I contacted the host 15 minutes after I booked due to my 86 year old mothers illness (I was taking her on this trip to San Diego). I needed to cancel and wanted to speak to the host. I got no response. I contacted air bnb they contacted the host and he said he would not honor my cancellation even though it was literally 15 minutes after i booked. I was extremely disappointed that the host would not contact me due to the circumstances. I would not consider renting from this host again.
