How did things turn out? To me, it sounds like someone was trying to scam you. I'm up against this myself; patently false claims were made so that the woman could demand (extort!) one night's pay.
I just read in another part of the forum where seasoned airbnb folks dumped all over a woman who wrote an honest reply to a very bad review. Said she should have been all "Gee, I'm so sorry our views conflict." Being polite doesn't sound like the way to deal with scammers. Luckily, in a way, my scammer called me at home this morning, so maybe my reporting that will cause her to finally "go away." there's a clause about "unwanted contact;" I'd blocked her on the airbnb website, so she call my personal line. And by the way, she didn't even stay here. A third party did; she claims he's her husband but gosh... can't the man talk for himself? You get the picture. She follows all the patterns of experienced scammers, and is tenacious like the bull dog she's being.
