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]

Didn't expect there to be under the circumstances. Just stating the situation, meaning Airbnb had no comparable inventory to offer, so they went above the original refund cost to help make up most of the cost of replacement hotel room(s). [/quote]
