Overall we enjoyed our stay at Stephanie's flat. It's very clean, comfortable and spacious. There's a dryer, which is a rarity in Europe. The location is wonderful, in the heart of Mitte and across from a very nice park. However, there were a few issues. It started before we checked in. She allowed us to check in early, which was great. But at the last minute she also informed us that upon arrival we were expected to pay 20€ for a Berlin city tax. As we were coming from the U.S. and did not have Euros upon arrival, we scrambled to find the neared ATM. We ended up getting money from a geld automat at out U-bahn station. The fees were outrageous—we paid $30 in fees. If we'd had time to find a bank ATM we would have avoided those fees. Moreover, we stayed at another Airbnb in Berlin and we not expected to pay that tax. Then, two days into our four-night stay, we ran out of toilet paper. We were only provided two (rather small) rolls. I messaged her about more. She responded almost an hour later, saying that the norm in Europe was that there are "starter" supplies and then people are expected to get their own, however she would be willing to make a one-time exception and bring another roll. By that time I had already gone out and bought more. For long-term stays, I get where she's coming from, absolutely. I have stayed in Airbnbs for up to three months at a time and of course I'm going to get my own toilet paper for the majority of the stay. For short-term stays, however, that is not the norm at all. I've stayed in 30+ Airbnbs all over the world, including five in Germany on this most recent trip, and this is the only experience I've had with toilet paper stinginess. We even schlepped our toilet paper throughout Germany in case what she said turned out to be true, only to not need it. We paid almost $600 for four nights, spend a few extra cents to provide more toilet paper. Then, when we checked out, she wanted to come and say goodbye, at which point she told us that she hoped we would give her a five-star review so she could maintain Superhost status. The whole thing felt really awkward, it seemed like she was checking in on us and the pressure to give five stars seemed especially tone deaf in light of the toilet paper situation. Stephanie's place was nice but I would not stay there again.
