Had to escalate to Airbnb
* Flooded
* Place wasn't ready
* Golan difficult to work with
3 days prior to my intended month-long reservation Golan (host) reached out to indicate the unit had flooded and that we may have to cancel or delay my reservation. We stayed in touch and the day prior to my reservation he indicated the the place would be ready, but 2 days later than my original reservation date. We agreed on a concession (equal to 5 days; for 2 days lost + 3 days inconvenience).
When I arrived at the later check-in date the place was still in complete disarray and the cleaner was there. The kitchen, living room, bathroom and front hallway were still being worked on. The unit was not ready for check-in.
I took photos reached out to Golan but he was uncooperative and difficult to work with. It became apparent that he did not want to make any additional concessions so we had to escalate the situation to Airbnb.
He insisted to on holding me to the full reservation, and did not actually provide any concessions.
The issue took a week to resolve. Airbnb indicated it was taking longer than expected because Golan was difficult to get in contact with. Given the promptness of our earlier correspondence, I suspect he was deliberately avoiding them.
Airbnb eventually ruled in my favor and the reservation was canceled outright.
