I have stayed in many Airbnbs, but this was unfortunately the worst experience we have had so far.
The photos are nowhere near reflective of reality and heavily photo-shopped: the whole place felt like a dungeon and not a “LOFT“. It’s two super dark apartments in the basement (the smaller one is a little better - it’s the one shown in the photos). The 3BR apartment is super dark even on the brightest summer day.
We wanted to leave after the first day, but it was impossible to find another same-sized place without notice in summer in Berlin. They offered a refund for the days if we would leave early, but as mentioned we could not find a place for 6 people w/o notice.
There were some other small issues, but the host’s team was fast to reply to those. I don’t blame them for that.
But taking a “basement prison” and calling it a “LOFT” and faking super bright photos when the place is actually super dark, is really not how airbnb should work.
I guess it’s a decent place for a group of party people who sleep during the day - but for families with kids or people
who don’t like living in dungeons: better look somewhere else.
