Hi Kate thx for that advice..all noted. I wrote a long reply explaining my ‘complexed ‘ stay in Cape Town only to be logged out?!
In short I shou;Ltd have responded to my hosts comment sooner but just too busy working lost track of time:
During my first week on checking in to my first abode via Airbnb …My stay was interrupted by host having to fix my room and install new burglar bars for safety of intruding baboons, which should really have been installed before I arrived. I did not complain at all. Then the entire week I was sleep deprived because of loud fridge drone sound in my room and biting mosquitos, which after a week I became somewhat annoyed and called host to ask to remedy my situation. I in fact also in my forst day offered to help her one and only gardener on a 5 acres site should the need arise…
these gentle complaints were shrugged off only to be offered an alternative abode on the estate during the latter days of my stay, which I did not ask for and actually asked whether I need to pay more…which was declined. I thanked the host and mentioned that it was vastly improved and reminded her that I had been very calm and patient for a week of aggravation but willing to put that aside and make the best of the alternative. On my final day I went to the host home to say goodbye and well wishes but she was out so I called her via phone and she was quite abrupt…well excuse me I think I was way too patient and should have found an alternative place to stay the second half of my trip. Certainly will not return…always two sides to the tale.🌈
