I gather that you took longer than 48 hours to realise your mistake. You now rely on the goodwill of the host who appears to be a money grabber. All they need to do is click “accept” to release you of your booking. It’s sad to hear that there are such hosts out there not prepared to accommodate a simple mistake months ahead of the booking date. Airbnb should override this or have “strict” or “flexible” cancellation policy emblazoned on the listings landing page. Or in the booking section when you need to make the final click.
