We (Russian citizens) are planning to go to Munich in late June. We would like to book our accommodation on AirBnB, but it is not very clear whether it will be accepted by the German embassy when we apply for a Schengen visa.

I can't find such information on the German embassy site or on the VFS-Global site. I've also searched for it on the Internet, and, while most sites agree that AirBnB booking is generally OK for a visa, I don't see a clear answer for Germany specifically, and there seems to be some exceptions for other European countries.

Finally I've written email to VFS-Global, and they replied that AirBnB booking is OK. I understand that this is not absolutely official information, because VFS-Global are not German embassy, but I think it is official enough.

UPD: we got visa and had no problems at the airport at all. Though this is just one case, like with other similar posts on the Internet.
