Im not sure where you got the idea that airbnb are pro host, but they most definitely are not. Generally they bend over backwards to accommodate a guest, to the point of being ridiculous.
What sort of cancellation policy does your host have?
also have you tired speaking to your host and asking if it's possible for him to turn down the TV a little?
He does sound remarkably inconsiderate, but still it would be realistic to at least give him an opportunity to adjust his behaviour instead of just assuming that he won't change.
If however he seems unco operative or the noise continues, you are well within your rights to contact Airbnb CS adn tell them your difficulties. I would be astounded if they did not take proactive action on your behalf-most likely helping you to cancel with a refund and move elsewhere.
For the record, even though this thread is relevant to your situation, because it is so old, you would have been better off creating a new one - as your post is buried at the bottom of an old conversation. I only came across it by chance
Good luck with this adn hope you have a better experience one way or the other very soon.
ps in the interim you can buy very cheap disposable ear plugs at a chemist - of course you shouldnt' HAVE to do this - but in the very short term if it means you are at least getting a bit of sleep it might be worthwhile?
