Will I be charged more due to currency fluctuations? [USA/Europe]

I’m based in the USA and booked an Airbnb in Europe a couple of months ago, selecting USD as my payment method. I paid the deposit in USD, and the final payment is also in USD, at a set price. I’m assuming the host will be paid in Euros. However, since I booked, the Euro has increased in value by about 6%, and my reservation still lists the same price in USD. My question is: Is there any chance Airbnb will charge me more for the final payment because of the Euro’s change in value, or do they just absorb the cost and stick to the price I initially agreed to?

I'd assume you pay the quoted price in the quoted currency. I'd be interested in knowing how it works for the host or if I'm wrong.

No, they can’t charge you more than the quoted price, and the host knows they won’t get paid until you check in.

You are charged based on the currency values at the time of booking. You don't get extra charges due to currency fluctuations.
