The property was on the other side of the railway line from us and our guests would need to use a subway to get to our house”

So when you booked, you were aware that within minutes of your own house there was an aera not safe enough, the railway was obviously indicated in the circle but you decided not to wonder on which side of the railway was the property and you blind book it. it would only have cost 1 question before booking to avoid the trouble.

but I also belive immediate cancellation should be refund completely, mistakes happens

They charge the full amount of the reservation up front. Secondly, it’s very obvious that you did NOT read the Terms of Service or cancellation policie of the host, that you checked a box agreeing to on the payment page. If you had, you would have seen that with a Strict cancellation policy you will only receive 50% back minus the guest service fees. As well as the part in the TOS that states with out a court order and proof of intent to defraud (which any messages in the message thread are not a binding contract) no information will be released about a person’s identity to another person by Airbnb. You have one option, that is to try a charge back with your bank, which they will probably give you the money back at first, but as soon as they see the agreement made on your behalf and agreeing to the TOS you obviously didn’t read, they will more than likely take the money back, you’ll be banned from the site and will have gone through way more than its worth and spent way more than the refund for nothing. Moral of the story? Do some research, tread the TOS fur everything, take responsibility for your own actions. Especially on any site that states it is a self service site!

If the cities of the world can’t get it then you won’t be able to either.
A good hotel or reputable bed and breakfast would NEVER do that to anyone.
But it was probably cheap in comparison to a legitimate business…………………………….
