Host asks Guest to cancel?

Airbnb’s final resolution was “extenuating circumstances” for host and a second, generic, “ sorry for your inconvenience” for me. My companions found an even better, higher-quality & slightly lower priced apartment immediately :grin: - despite his warning of the extreme scarcity, etc!

All good, & thanks, all, for your helpful & supportive responses🌈

What were the extenuating circumstances @rubychix?

It sounds like he exploited this bit:

That’s a lot of work- if he hadn’t been dishonest & belligerent & rude, I would be feeling bad for him!

Jefferson nailed it.
