DO NOT RENT !!!
I WILL REPEAT THAT FOR YOU, DO NOT RENT !!!!
I don’t even know where to begin to tell you how terrible this room is so I will number the problems with it.
1.	The room does not match the pictures, if you think you are renting a “Treasure” let me tell you what you are renting. You are renting a closet full of dust as this room has been neglected for who knows how long. The ladder you have to take to the bed in your little closet, was not attached to the wall until I complained that it was unsafe and then it was randomly attached to the wall with some nails, I guarantee you it is still not safe. The chair, the rug, the desk will not be there. Even the picture of the bed is not accurate as let me tell you, you will get used yellow pillows, and these ancient blankets that I took pictures of which I wish I could show you. You will be cold, it will not be comfortable and if you are over 5 ft 10 inches (1.8 meters) you cannot sleep straight. In fact it was so cold that near the end of my trip I caught a cold as after asking for a blanket, I was neglected and never contacted again to be checked on. I wasn’t aware asking for a blanket in a cold home was something wrong. When asking for extra blankets I was given the ones off the couch that everyone has used to use in my bed. I don’t consider that very sanitary. Especially in the days of Covid-19.
2.	Bugs, lets start there, I have had to defend myself against spiders my entire stay, I had to squish over 18 spiders (you read that right) of which 3 in the middle of the night IN MY BED. Mites in the kitchen, I mean I am surprised I did not see worse. Sadly, by the time I saw the mites it was already near the end of my stay there.
3.	The lie of occupancy. When renting this place, I knew I was renting a room, not an apartment, so I asked the host how many people live there and was told with me, a total of 4 people. Which is great. With the exception of the first few days and the last few days, there was always at least a minimum of SIX PEOPLE in the house with one bathroom. At one point EIGHT PEOPLE, OF WHICH two slept in the living room and locked the living room door and I could not get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. (to be fair I did have access from my room to the bathroom via a balcony, but given the recent cold weather I would rather go through the living room) since I was paying for my room and the guests in the living room were not, I get to go through the living room.
4.	This house is on the third floor, which is not an issue, but no elevator plus heavy luggage’s, which is a problem, but to be fair I take responsibility for that one as I had heavy luggage’s. However, if you have a small carry on and still for some reason want to rent this terrible room, go ahead.
5.	The fridge, the Fridge is so full and so many people live there that if you plan on staying for over two days, forget putting anything in there as there is barely any room.
6.	Cleaning, even though there are cleaning fees in Airbnb, I noticed that after guests left, the hosts would minorly clean the rooms, without disinfecting which I don’t find sanitary in a time of global pandemic.
I know most people will think as to why I did not leave the Airbnb. First of all, the rent in Berlin at the moment is horrendous as of the energy crisis and some inflation. If you can afford to not come wait till the spring. Second its not that easy to leave an Airbnb in the middle as finding another one while you are in the middle of interviewing for jobs is difficult as you don’t have extra time to look for one. For final, it is not the responsibility of the Airbnb guest to tell the host that there is a bug infestation in your home as they live there.
I have heard stories like this before on Airbnb I just never thought I would live it. Plus if you are having a hard time believing me, let me tell you even the people who are renters there were there maybe one week in the entire month, I wonder why.
My professional and honest opinion, don’t rent this place at all. Save your money and your energy. Unless you like staying in a bug infested, dust closet.
