AITA for asking to cover the price difference for another apartment when finding bed bugs in the bed?

My wife and I booked a much needed holiday to another city (a flight and a drive). We booked well in advance so it wouldn’t be too expensive and on arrival we immediately saw bed bugs on the bed and on the wall. Had just laid down for a rest, so we removed all our clothes, put them in a bag and got the heck out of there.

We tried to call the number given but hey kept hanging up on us. They texted back basically saying “what do you want” we told them about the issue but they were very slow to answer “no battery, low network, I need to talk to the boss” we waited a couple of hours in the street with our bags and eventually they texted back an alternative apartment far away outside of town, or our money back. At no point was there even the slightest hint of concern or apology. We even asked to talk to the owner but they ignored that request.

Of course by this point the whole town was booked out and only a few super expensive places were left, we ended up having to rent a much more expensive, yet far inferior accommodation outside of the area we wanted to stay. The extra cost was about 160$ more in our currency and so we asked for our money back and here’s where it gets into AMITA territory, we asked for the 160 extra as well “for an amicable resolution”. By this point we had lost a big portion of our first holiday day, our clothes were in trash bags awaiting urgent washing, they hadn’t apologized, our accommodation was gone and now more expensive. We asked them to allow us to keep our car in their car park as parking was unavailable at the other location, and they also said no.
So of course we left them a terrible review, and the owner finally replied for the first time (still no apology) calling us scammers / saying we were trying to blackmail them.

I recognize that they didn’t intentionally put bed bugs in the bed, but it did cost us 160+ washing our holiday clothes, driving around and standing around with our bags for 2-3 hours, urgent searching for somewhere to stay, my question is, does asking for the 160 extra it cost us to find an even worse, but only available apartment “for an amicable solution” and then leaving a bad review after being given no answer or apology an AH move?

Si tú o alguien que conoces habéis dormido en Tabacalera by Silastur en mayo o junio, tengo malas noticias. (chinches Gijón)

Por toda la pared y la cama había chinches. Salimos corriendo. Nos quedamos sin sitio donde dormir y, al final, tuvimos que gastar una fortuna en una alternativa.

Ni siquiera pidieron disculpas por las molestias ni mostraron ninguna preocupación. Obviamente, no tengo ni idea de lo que hicieron después, pero tampoco dieron la sensación de que fueran a hacer nada para solucionarlo. Quién sabe.

Lo que sí sé es que tienen reservas durante junio y julio. A mí esto me parece muy grave.

I have 200+ VR games but Flatout VR is top 3 (and I don’t even like racing games usually)

This game with a wheel is just an absolute buzz.

Doesn’t get talked about enough: playing music from PC

I don’t see many people how great it is to silence the music on certain games and just play Spotify or YouTube or whatever on your PC, as it plays through VD and mixes in to the sound FX seamlessly. Makes “working out” so much more fun than a lot of the shitty gaming music. I do it a lot with games like Creed and Sprint Vector but this is Kongfusion.

Best excercise GAMES (not so much fitness apps)

Hey, so I "workout" every day with Sprint Vector (can't possibly imagine a better cardio workout in VR) and Creed (with no stamina mod). I'm wondering if there are any games that I haven't thought of or found, that can be as fun, to mix it up a bit. I already own, but don't think they are as good (in order of effectiveness) - Les Mills, Thrill of the Fight 1 and 2, Punch Fit, Audio Shield, Cybrid, Dragon Fist, Kongfusion, PowerBeats, Synth Riders, Tales of Glory 3, Beat Saber, Beat Master... just wondering if there are any other hidden gems (For example Punch fit is great, and it's free on PCVR)

Recently stumbled across this artist I had never heard of and there’s quite a few absolute bangers on there I’ve been playing on repeat.
