I noticed the A Class forum is not as active as some of the others I'm on, so I wanted do my part to contribute to the forum with some how to guides to post. I recently had to retire the Mercedes C300 (W204) as part of a trade in for a 2019 Mercedes A220. This is now the 5th Mercedes in the family and the 2nd A220, the other vehicles include GL350, 2 - ML350's and now 2 - A220's.
This how to guide is for replacing the interior cabin air filter in a 2019 Mercedes A220, this should be a similar process for all years. This is a basic and easy process and is recommended it be changed annually.
Step by Step Guide
Step 1 - On the passenger side, move the seat all the way back and remove the carpet floor mat or rubber floor mat. Passenger Side Passenger Side with floor mat removed

Step 3 - Note the direction of the air flow of the existing filter. (Flowing to the front of the vehicle). Remove the cabin filter.
