Unfortunately, on the day of my arrival, communication was not smooth and I did not end up staying at the host's place.
I messaged the host multiple times to inform her of my updated arrival time, well before the time I arrived. When I finally arrived, I could not reach the host through messages, calls, etc. Two hours later, after I was long gone and asleep elsewhere (1 a.m.), she called and texted asking where I was. She did refund my costs, but I'm not sure what happened here.
