Hello!
I found this apartment on ebay, is really nice and cheap compared to the rest in the city of Hamburg.
The owner is Danish and doesn't live anymore in Germany. I asked him to see the apartment and he answered me that he is gonna use airbnb so I can check the apartment and rent it in the future.
This is the last mail he wrote me. With a photo of "his" passport.
Should I be worried?
Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hi again,
The whole process is simple and safe.I believe you serious, please take care of our apartment. Pets are accepted(if you have) but you must try to keep the furniture as clean as normal because I paid a lot of money for the renovation. If you are ready to proceed with the transaction i need to inform you how this works:
I need to inform you how this works:
1. I will send you the Airbnb invitation so you can select the period and follow the steps to finish the booking and payment to Airbnb website.
2. Airbnb will require the deposit confirmation of the first month payment and security deposit (first month of rent + 1400 euro Kaution (Kaution like I said, you will receive back at the end of the contract) = 2100 EUR). It will be done through their website.
3. After the payment is confirmed, the leasing process begins.
4. Airbnb will notice me, and after, i will buy a flight ticket to Germany, to come with the keys and the contracts of the apartment. You will have two days to check the apartment and to take a decision if you will want to rent it or no.
5. If everything is in order and you decide to rent the apartment, Airbnb will give me the money after you will sign the contracts of rental. Additional rents will be sent directly to my personal bank account.
6. If you refuse to rent the apartment, Airbnb will give you a full refund!
Now, if you are interested in renting the apartment I will need the next informations from your side:
Name:
Address:
City:
Postal code:
Country:
ID or passport copy attached via e-mail:
Phone Number Available:
I request all this details because I need to see that you are really interested in my apartment,I need to know more about you, I need to trust you.
I also attached my documents.
Thank you
