Paid owner (Iddi) for one month in advance. When I arrived to Zanzibar not only was I robbed in his house but he also proceeded to blame me (for not locking the door) and then blame my friend simply because he was a local.

Despite promising a partial refund and a refund of the cash that was stolen, he sent half and then stopped responding.
