Air BNB advice

We have booked accommodation in Berlin in the second week in July. We have paid half of the total price. Just wondering if I should go ahead and pay the balance. We are still intending to travel if we are allowed. Just wondering where we might stand with refunds etc. We have also fully paid for flights through EasyJet.
Any advice much appreciated.

    Totally personal choice
    As it looks like you booked flight and accommodation separately
    The risk if you paid for the accommodation is the flights are cancelled, and the accommodation is open you might not get a refund
    And the reverse if you cancel the accommodation  and the flights go.

    Have you travel insurance?
    Also is the accommodation refundable for the 50%?
