Great location with a spacious and well stocked apartment. Check in was easy, and the wifi worked well. Very smooth trip except for a post-checkout conversion with Mia about a Berlin tax on tourist stays.
Mia charged me €35 at the conclusion of my stay to cover this tax. When I expressed surprise (as such a fee wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the listing), Mia was condescending about my ability to read and told me that I knew about this fee from her welcome message. For reference, the relevant part of this message said, “INFO City Tax:According to the Berlin City tax law, there is a mandatory 5% City tax on each overnight booking which does not take place for professional reasons. This amount cannot be settled through Airbnb.For tourists: I would be grateful if you could leave 35 Euro on the table at check-out.”
While Mia did ultimately cancel the charge, I didn’t get a great impression of her professionalism. Otherwise the apartment was great, and I totally recommend.
