re: Frustrations with Airbnb

If you message them through Airbnb only in which your communication is clear, the host can either refund you 100% or Airbnb likely will given the circumstances.

The host can also initiate a cancellation, they just get dinged for it. So tell the host to initiate it.

Also, this is the exact opposite of what I expected fwiw. Most guys are complaining the CAN'T get a cancellation for this summer.
