it has been weeks of
sending links and screenshots
to and fro and ended up like
- did you see the one i sent?
- which app is that?
- which area is that?
which is which are you
actually talking about?
i really wanted to sit down
with my boss to
review the place
before i proceed to
make the booking
and yesterday
and the day before
we finally got to and
booked the accommodation
for our family trip to
Tokyo next month
then issue happened again
who knows why
but i am quite used to it
anyway
something will somehow
make the journey somewhere
somewhat more memorable
first issue encountered
they no longer accept PayPal
initially i thought it was
due to individual options
but i have browsed at least
10 properties and all of them
are showing these 3 options only
so i had to resort to a card
and another issue popped up
we tried two credit cards
and two debits cards
from 3 different banks
and they were somehow rejected
in different ways
so i dropped Home Away a query
and they promised to
look into it
in the meantime
i logged in on desktop
and what the …
they actually still
accept PayPal after all
and then
i got response
from their customer service
mentioning that
they actually saw that
there is a successfully booking done
yeah i told them
that i finally discovered
there is PayPal option
on the desktop version and
informed about the bug on the app
anyway…
and next..
the stay request
was approved by the
Japanese host pretty fast
and that’s so nice of them
to send me a long text
which i offered to
forward them to my
co-travelers
i know this is just a
simple act of copy and past
but yet..
i do appreciate their effort
in communicating with the guests
even before arrival
and they even care about
these details and
are willing to arrange for
early check-in if available
(most of the check-in time is 4 PM)
and i am expecting them
to send a copy of
detailed guide of
getting to the property
from Narita / whichever airport
you are flying in from
wait…
i have not posted about
the awesome stay at Osaka
which was like 6 months ago?
Did I?
