apartment in Berlin: Renting the entire flat or house as a holiday accommodation is forbidden, according to Deutsche Welle. Those who ignore the law that went into effect on May 1, 2016 can face fines of up to 100,000 euro . Last year over 20,000 Berliners offered their property to tourists on the internet using Airbnb. This means that tourists can still rent a room in a flat or apartment in Berlin via internet platforms but will have to share kitchen and bathroom facilities. On average the portal says, a typical host will have earned around 1,800 euro during that year. 568,000 guests stayed overnight in Airbnb rented accommodation. Given that it is more profitable to rent out whole apartments for short holiday lets, some investors were holding onto apartments for such rentals rather than having more permanent, long-term tenants. Every third guest told a survey they would not have come to Berlin or stayed as long as they had had it not been for Airbnb.
