Be wary of this host. He requested for additional money before we could check-in. He said that it is a bond which will be returned if nothing is damaged. However, after we check-out, he said that airbnb will return the bond, and the additional payment was not a bond but due to short-payment. I have checked with airbnb, and they said that because payment was not made through airbnb, they are unable to return it. If Alex request for additional money, please do not make the payment..
