I normally book my trips at least a few months in advance and booked this July trip to La Jolla back in March. Other places looked nicer but the price of Portia's studio was better. I wrote her to let her know when I'd be arriving about 3 days before and she wrote back saying that there was a mistake in the price she had listed back in March and July should be $300 more. I was a nervous wreck those 3 days leading up to this trip thinking she might cancel last minute but I was not going to give her any additional money as I think it's bad business to operate that way. If the price was listed any higher I would have booked elsewhere. Portia went on to tell me 8 times that I got a good deal. Weird.
