I booked 2 nights in Karina's home then had a sudden change of plans immediately after booking--to spend the 1st night with a friend in Eureka on my way to Portland instead. About 5 minutes after receiving a confirmation message from Karina I very respectfully and apologetically explained the circumstances and asked if she'd consider a partial refund for the first night, since it had literally been a few minutes since I'd booked and she surely hadn't lost any other potential guests. About 7 HOURS later she says "sorry, I don't do last minute cancellations," clearly just waiting until the last possible minute to justify her policy. I can respect hosts needing strict cancellation policies for guests trying to bail on reservations made far in advance , but this was pretty low and silly. She might as well have said "sorry, I already got your money, why should I care if you made a mistake." I was so put off I decided to not even stay the second night. At the very least I kind of admire her ability to be so rigid despite the awkwardness that would have surely resulted were I to come the second night. This one clearly doesn't care what her guests think of her.
