Airbnb announced for the first time that it would enforce a legal limit on the number of nights a year a host in London and Amsterdam can rent out a home. Thursday's announcement, coupled with several deals made over the past year, shows the company has started to offer more compromises to make peace with cities.

Dyne Suh, a law student from southern California, detailed her experience in a February 18 Facebook post, the New York Post reported.

The post featured screenshots from Suh’s exchange with the host, who said she was cancelling the booking in Running Springs, California and wouldn’t rent to Suh if she was the “last person” on Earth.

“One word says it all,” the text read. “Asian.”

Suh, who was travelling with friends on the Presidents’ Day public holiday weekend for a trip to Bear Mountain Ski Resort, said the group had parked just minutes away from the location when the host cancelled.

She was then interviewed by a news crew from KTLA that was in the area to cover a severe winter storm. Suh told the station the host had confirmed via text that she could add two people to the original reservation. Suh said the booking went awry when she followed up as the group got closer.

“If you think four people and two dogs ate [sic] getting a room fir [sic] $50 a night on Big Bear mountain during the busiest weekend of the year … You are insanely high,” the host said, according to screenshots.

“I just froze when I read that,” Suh told KTKA. “My heart just sank.”

Suh then told the host that she planned to report her to Airbnb officials, prompting the host to reply: “It’s why we have Trump.”

The host also added: “And I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners.”

In a YouTube video posted this week recounting the ordeal, an emotional Suh said she’s been an American citizen for over two decades.

“I’m an American citizen, this is my home,” Suh said. “I’ve been here since I was three years old. America is my home, I consider myself an American but this woman discriminates against me for being Asian. She cancelled on us when we were three minutes away from the house, we’re three minutes away. I just feel so hurt.”

Suh said the incident serves as a reminder to her that racism is “very much alive” in the United States.

“It can happen to anyone, there’s no bounds to racism,” Suh said. “No matter what class you are, no matter what your education level, no matter if you’re an American citizen — what they see is that I’m Asian, what they see is my race and this is how we get treated. It stings.”

Hours after her original Facebook post, Suh wrote in the early morning hours of March 18 that her group had found another place to stay, a “cute cabin” near the mountain.

Earlier in the same thread, she said Airbnb issued the group a full refund and said they would reimburse them for a hotel stay.

A spokesman for the company told KTLA that the host has since been banned from hospitality service.

“Airbnb does not condone discrimination in any way,” spokesman Christopher Nulty told the station.

“We have worked to provide the guest with our full support. In line with our non-discrimination policy, this host has been permanently removed from the Airbnb platform.”

The host, meanwhile, had no comment when reached by NBC Los Angeles, the station reported.

The Washington Post reports that the company declined to indicate additional details on the cancellation or if the host has had prior complaints. The company also declined to confirm the host’s name and the original listing in question is apparently no longer available, the newspaper reports.
