**STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.**
*PLEASE BEWARE*
I have personally used AirBNB on several occasions and have never experienced such a situation.
We traveled thousands of miles to see Germany. Our communication with the host before meeting was exceptional. He contacted appropriately and had quick responses. We were so excited to have found such a beautiful space for our family of four to enjoy the Holidays in.
When we saw the space, it was a matchbox compared to the pictures. The AirBnB amenities described a kitchen but there was only a microwave in the hallway outside of the “apartment” that appeared to be shared with an office and other tenants of the building.
Furthermore, the apartment was a bunch of independent rooms with separate locks that had numbers on the door. It was clearly not one cohesive space, giving off a more dorm room like atmosphere. The photo appeared to show a common space which in person was a narrow hallway with a table and chairs. Note that the couch and desk photographed in the listing is in one of the bedrooms and that bedroom sizes do not allow for a suitcase to be opened on the floor without making it incapable to walk.
Jamie met us shortly after accessing the apartment. When we tried to speak with the host about the variance between what was advertised and what the space actually is, he became aggressive. He frantically motioned around the room and continued to get louder until my family felt uncomfortable being there. He demanded the key back. We gave him the key and left.
We left as soon as the host arrived, never used any of the amenities, and didn't feel safe returning.
Jamie took our money, took the key, and refused to discuss any sort of compromise.
He took all of our money and showed no remorse for his behavior.
**PLEASE BEWARE** and find another place to stay.
