Was asked by host to change to a unit different than booked (upstairs unit). This unit did not have preferred bed arrangement which was reason for booking the original listing. Was notified midweek before visit which was not enough notice to find suitable alternatives. Host was apologetic, and offered some unspecified rebate after stay that never materialized.
