The first bad experience I have had using airbnb. Cyril wants to meet you as soon as you arrive to get extra cash payments from you and he comes across as a very petty man. I had 4 quiet nights in with my girlfriend and the apartment was largely ok apart from the broken 300 year old kettle, the cheap decor and the shower that you have to hold in your hand because he is too cheap to put a holder on the wall.
The story however takes a turn for the worse after we leave, more requests for money.
There is a message from Cyril asking us to pay 12 euros for damages to his property. I click to see the description and I am baffled to see that the little plastic filter from his kettle that was broken when we arrived and floating around inside his disgusting antique kettle that clearly hadn't been washed since he bought it was the reason for the charge.
I replied to him on air bnb explaining that it was broken when we arrived but does it end there?
No this guy rather than going to the mega tesco across the road to buy himself a new clean kettle is trying to take action through air bnb to get us to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a tiny lime filter that was already broken.
I would like to add that this is nothing to do with the kettle. He is angry at us because we paid the full price of our stay through the air bnb website rather than paying him some cash at the property so he can pay less taxes and fees and he is now inventing things to try and compensate for this.
I have stayed in Prague many times in the last two years and never encountered this at any other air bnb.
I would recommend staying somewhere else where the owner leaves you alone to enjoy your holiday.
