Refunds and cash flow reports.

I have an Expenses:Accommodations account.
Airbnb charged me $286 for a stay. The host had to cancel and the
amount was refunded, so I added a corresponding transaction to return
the funds to my credit card account.
But when perusing a Cash Flow report, the amount shows up as both
Money In and Money Out. This is not what I expected, that is, I
expected only the net amount going in and out of a given account to
show up, so an account would only appear once in a Cash Flow report,
and a transaction followed by the reverse transaction would have no
effect on that report.
Of course, I could delete the first transaction but since the refund
transaction didn't come in until the next billing cycle that would
throw off a bunch of stuff.
Is there a way to make it work like I'd like it to?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
