Thrown out on the street today by a host for a bogus reason.

Sorry, this a bit long.

So I’m Denmark with my family( my wife and our two daughters 5 and 2 years old) on the last days of our summer vacation. We reserve a nice little apartment with a short notice and while the apartment is listed for two we ask if it’s OK to bring our two kids, one sleeps with us in the big bed, the other on the sofa, this is all fine by the host. We arrive, it’s nice and cosy and we are only staying there for two and a half days, we book three days though.

So my wife’s brother lives there with his family and he comes over to visit with his little girl and later we had planned to go to dinner. We take a stroll outside and on the way back my wife and her brother go to pick up some wine and I take the three kids upstairs to wait.

As I’m waiting there is a knock on the door and outside is our host. She goes on to say that she had rented her place for four people (me and my family) but now she sees that there are six people staying there. No no, I say, that other man is my wife’s brother who lives in Copenhagen. “But there are three children!” “That’s his daughter, they aren’t staying here” For some reason this doesn’t seem to change anything and she goes on and on about how there are only supposed to be four people there and they have to cancel our agreement. She wants us to vacate the apartment immediately. This is where I lose my temper and ask her what the fuck is wrong with her. I call my brother-in-law and tell them to hurry back because we were getting evicted. Him and my wife try to reason with her but she doesn’t budge and stands there just expressionless (but that is most likely due to the massive amounts of Botox in her face). She wants us out. By this time my kids are crying, my wife’s in shock and I’m furious (and tell he to go fuck herself).

We end up crashing at my brother-in-law’s place and have to catch a plane early in the morning.

Airbnb called my wife after this and offered to find us a new place and but we didn’t want to waste the last few hours of the day moving our giant stash of luggage to any more places.

The host claims we broke our agreement but we know we didn’t. She refunded our last day but I want this terrible person to pay us every cent back for ruining our last day and throwing my kids out on the street.

Incidentally it’s fashion week in Copenhagen and all available space is booked up, we believe she got a long term offer that was on the verge of falling through so she wanted us out no matter what. This was actually brought up to her and she refused but we checked her calendar and now it’s all booked up, even our day tomorrow that she cancelled.

We have talked to Airbnb and they are trying to help us out but I fear she might know every loophole in the biz.

What can we do?
