I got towed following my hosts instructions

I got towed following my hosts instructions

I got an air bnb, and their was a parking miscommunication. Long story short my host had the wrong parking spot and I had to move my car over cause the actual spot owner was threatening to tow if i didn'tmove. The host was adamant that the other person was wrong. The host told me to stay in the current spot i moved to, and that they informed the office and I was ok.(they didn't). I was insured I wouldn't be towed. I got towed and now the host refuses to make things right. I had to spend pretty much all the money I brought for my trip. Im trying to get air bnb support to situate this if not my next step is a lawsuit against the host or Airbnb whichever is decided to be accountable

That's appalling the host should definitely cover the costs . What did Airbnb say?  @Juan6050 

Do leave an honest review .

 

yes suing the owner would be the way to go if they don't step up.

 

Im contacting them today cause the host didn't respond in the 72 hours

They were no help at all despite all the evidence I had showing the host was in the wrong

Did you speak to an actual person or did you chat with a support person/bot? I would call and ask to speak to a manager and escalate. You could also consider a shout out to Airbnb on their social media accounts. Many seem to get a better response when doing this.
