While the flat itself is quiet, in a good location and offers easy access to Tiergarten and central Berlin (which is why we chose it), we quickly regretted our choice when we met the host.
His strange behaviour included pressuring us into signing a raft of additional (untranslated) paperwork he had prepared at check-in.
Unfortunately, this seemed to be connected to our experience at checkout. At checkout he made claims about the state of the flat in which we had found it (including areas we had not used even once) and aggressively demanded we pay him directly large amounts of money to address these.
His claims are still being investigated by Airbnb, we do not believe they have any merit and will be handled appropriately.
This was a bizarre and unwelcome stay, that at the end, felt more like a trap. We’ve never had it before (after staying with dozens of Airbnb hosts) and we hope to never encounter it again.
