I would stay away from this property and the host who is a very unreasonable owner.
Property looked beautiful And we were really excited about staying there for a girls weekend away from the kids. But due to the wildfires in the Santa Cruz mountains in Santa Clara Valley we asked Host if he would be willing to reschedule us due to the fear of evacuations which were happening on one sides of Aptos and in Santa Clara county just at the base of the hill. The host then said we were just canceling to cancel and was unwilling to work with us even when we offered to come another weekend. The fires has been Devastating to those areas mentioned and we’re extremely fearful that Fires and evacuations would continue to spread with not a lot of exits from the coastal town of Aptos.
Host wouldn’t refund any of the cost nor reschedule us. Wouldn’t work with us at all even letting him know 4 days before our stay as that is when the fires started and only got worse as the week and weekend went on.
Sad that Airbnb allows this type of people on their site with no protection for the consumer. A Hotel would have been more Accommodating. I think going forward I won’t use Airbnb due to the lack of protection they provide
They give all the decisions no matter what to the host.
