Canceling a fake reservation with Airbnb
If you are like me, then you probably schedule trips last minute like I do.<p>It was a little after 5 pm when I started looked for a hotel or Airbnb listing near a conference that I&#x27;m attending tomorrow and Thursday.<p>This one listing looked particularly perfect and was very close to the conference center and was less than all the hotel rates in the same area. So I booked it and shortly after I received this email: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;anonymous&#x2F;329801eb7e5f3a6d6506f84c4a66e8b4<p>--- email excerpt ---
First, I wanted to make sure you were aware that the address of the building is [redacted]. For some unknown reason, Airbnb lists the official address of the building at a different location and I want to be sure you had the correct address. I am working to fix this with Airbnb, but they are moving slow.
--- end email excerpt ---<p>The twist is that the cancellation policy determined by [redacted] only refunds me 39% of what I paid for and the textarea that Airbnb provides for me to write a detailed account of my terrible experience only allows 240 characters.<p>Seriously Airbnb, only 240 characters?
