Gernot is a nice man but I was disappointed with my stay. He did not meet me at the time we agreed upon, the room was cluttered with his belongings making it feel like I was sleeping in a storage room, and the shared space is very very tight.
What is most concerning is Gernot invaded my privacy in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. He may have been sleep-walking, I'm not sure. I want to respect his privacy here so I wont go into detail but it was startling and made me very uncomfortable.
It was saturday night and so there was partying that kept me awake, along with someone below me who was banging on their ceiling below me. I slept one hour that night before having to get to the airport. I booked the stay because I was in town for work and just needed a place to store my things and have a bed to sleep in so I wasn't expecting much, but I didn't even get sleep or a sense of safety. At 4am I had to cross a long, dark parking lot by myself to get to my car. Parking is not right around the corner.
After seeing the state this apartment is in, I would expect a place like this to cost $20/night, if that. So paying $86/night for this place was definitely not reflective of its value.
I don't enjoy leaving poor reviews. In fact, this is my first one. I'm a very easy-going and understanding person. But this experience was very different than any airbnb I've been to and I wish someone else mentioned these things in reviews. I'm sure Gernot will make adjustments as again, he is a very kind person. I just don't think his current offering is a good fit for airbnb.
