We had a host who had a plumbing issue about 2 weeks before we arrived. Wasn't a bait and switch - just couldn't host us and canceled the booking. We reached out to Airbnb because it was peak summer and options were very sparse- [b]there was literally nothing even close to comparable within 5 miles for our dates on Airbnb[/b]. I pushed hard and got them to give us an extra $75/day in cash beyond the refund amount, to cover some of the difference of the cost of the closest available hotel option.

OP I would go a similar route with Airbnb if you are getting bad vibes about this, or the alternative is seemingly perfectly fine (good reviews, etc) but not acceptable to you.[/quote]

It's hilarious to me that AirBnB markets itself as providing a less touristy experience, a chance to get to know authentic neighborhoods in a city and the "real" living experience of a place. And then people expect the whole neighborhood they've booked in to be filled with matching properties to rent. I can't roll my eyes far back enough. [/quote]
