In 2017 I went on a business trip to Berlin for work. Because my travel budget was rather small, I found an airbnb to stay in that was one room in a shared flat. It was in budget and close to the office so I requested to book it.

I woke up the next day to an approval of my booking request, with the following message from my host:

You're welcome to stay with us, but there's something you should know (and if it's not ok I'll fully refund you). Both of our cats just had kittens.

I ultimately spent my time in Berlin living with two humans, two adult cats, and 12 kittens.
