TLDR: Nina was a very disrespectful host. As nice as the apartment is, you won’t feel comfortable being there, and you won’t have privacy or discretion while using the bathroom. I felt like I was intruding the moment I walked in. To be fair, I checked in the evening (check in was 5pm, I arrived at 9:30pm), and although she never said I had to arrive by a certain time, the morning after she made it very clear it that she was upset about this, so maybe that triggered this animosity. Given it was during Oktoberfest season and I am a foreigner, I think she assumed I was a drunkard or something and that it was acceptable to treat people like this.
The Good: Good location and a nice apartment - this is why she has high ratings. The checkin/out times are ridiculous, and should not be common practice, but I do feel it was priced to compensate for it.
The Bad: A nightmare. Nina was very hostile and tried to gaslight and embarrass me for using the bathroom normally. I originally booked two nights, and the night I checked in she acted fine. Then 7am the next morning I received a notification for a reservation change request to check out that morning demanding that I leave. When I asked what was going on (via the app), she wanted me out because in the middle of the night I used the toilet while standing up (yes you read that right, unbeknownst to me she requires guests to sit) and then used it again earlier that morning and left a “mess”. She sent me a picture of the “mess” and it was a clean toilet with a spot here and there on the inside of the toilet bowl - it was nothing, and everyone I showed it to agrees. Most importantly, she NEVER approached me about this, she NEVER asked me to tidy up anything (and I would have), we BARELY even spoke; she just demanded that I leave and went through great lengths to try to gaslight and embarrass me by sending some really gross messages. I was shocked and confused.
As I was on the street with no place to go, I think she realized she messed up and overreacted (she did this all very, very early in the morning). So she then tried to embellish the extent of the “mess” and started lying about having kicked me out - after I had already left!!! I guess I could have refused to leave, but that didn’t seem right. Thankfully, almost all of our communications were done through the app so there is a very good record of this entire account.
Truly shameful behavior and the most bizarre Airbnb experience I ever had.
