Overall the apartment is nice and cozy. However, Mrs. Jasmin Gföller asked me to pay a 399 Euro compensation for a 10-year-old cafe machine. I did not use the machine at all and did not do anything to damage the espresso machine.
When I arrived on March 27, 2021 afternoon, I tried to turn on the power of the machine. However, the power was not able to be on. Then I just ignored it and never touched it after that. Therefore, I suspend that the machine was broken originally.
In her request, Mrs. Gföller claims she found the espresso machine was broken on March 28, 2021, at noon. However, I received her messages after 3 days on March 30, 2021 (Figure 1), telling me the espresso is broken. I consider it as willful misconduct. I am not sure why Mrs. Gföller "found" it after 3 days but reported she found it on March 28, 2021.
Mrs. Gföller claims I used the machine since there was water in it. I am pretty sure that there was empty without any water in the container during my stay. I also didn't put any water in it.
In her request, Mrs. Gföller claims she found an identical machine Gaggia Classic (2018), and asks compensation for 399 Euros. We can clearly see the difference between these two machines. However, I found the buttons are clearly different. I found the machine of Mrs. Gföller is a very old model in 2011. She claims the machine only has been used for three years which is obviously impossible. I believe this is another willful misconduct. Based on the statistics, the life expectancy of fully automatic espresso coffee machines is approximately 10 years. Therefore, the Gaggia Classic (2011) of Mrs. Gföller is approaching its life end.
To conclude, Mrs. Gföller is apparently raising a ridiculous request for compensation given so many misbehaviors. I didn't why she do this to me. Is it because I am a student or I am an Asian and don't know any German or because I just look easy to be framed up. This is the only awful experience I have on Airbnb. For all the upcoming guests, please consider carefully before you choose here.
