Thank you Bhumika. According to** the Airbnb representative, the review could not be taken down. I truly believe he simply did not understand how insulting the review was. I greatly appreciate anything you can do. I wrote a reply to the host's review in stating:
"The phrase "special guest" may perhaps be misinterpreted as rather negative or insulting. I was a "somewhat unlucky" guest being welcomed by a comedy of errors such as A/C not working, toilet leaking, and cockroaches, etc. I reported these issues to the host,**. He walked me through re-setting the circuit breakers for the A/C, which was unsuccessful. He sent a handyman to come out and fix the A/C. The host provided a partial refund which I greatly appreciated. Though it was only my 2nd stay at an Airbnb, I am not jaded at all and believe this was just a one off. I look forward to using Airbnb in the future."
However, I would still prefer the host's review of me be removed and I understand my reply would be removed along with it. That is all okay by me. Thank you for your assistance.
