Suffice it to say, @GapCA, your online customer service is excruciatingly inefficient.

Wow, @AirbnbHelp, sounds like you need to get on this pronto.
After 5 stellar @airbnb_fr stays over the past 3 weeks in France, @Airbnb has spectacularly dropped the ball with providing refund for this last and truly filthy stay in Paris. Need immediate resolution @AirbnbHelp; none is forthcoming after waiting for over 1 hour.
