App glitches, not a trusted Avenue to rent a house. Maybe airbnb was a good way to book a house somewhere, but you can not prove that to me. Host do not need to respond. Host may cancel at anytime, if you cancel properties come with a very steep consequence of cost. Airbnb will definitely get their money. There is no way to contact the host if they do not get your msg. Airbnb will not help you contact host. In my case, they told me I could just book another property. Not with airbnb Flakey
