The apartment ist very simple and not furnished with high quality furniture or kitchen equipment, but it was inexpensive and the city was very full because of the marathon. I was able to book, but he did not react to my first messages about checking in. I finally had to request that Airbnb contact him.
For two days we struggled to get the WiFi to work. When we wrote Muhammed, he knew about the cable that had been pulled out, blaming it on the guests before us. I fixed it myself, since I found the right screwdriver to reconnect it. He thanked me.
When we arrived he told us we could only turn the shower on a very small amount, because otherwise the bathroom could flood and he wouldn’t come to help us if there was water damage. We were essentially afraid to use the shower — the water in the bathroom and kitchen barely got warm, so that it was not possible to wash dishes properly (they stayed greasy).
In the end, Muhammed made a formal request for a 70€ damage compensation, saying that we left too much trash and that a cabinet (that we never used) was damaged. Perhaps it is a habit of his to blame damages on the previous guests (as was the case with the WiFi).
There is nothing in the house rules about taking the trash down, certainly not where we would do that.
