We can't review the apartment at Flinders st because the host redirected us to an apartment at39 Lonsdale St no1301
Our booking through Airbnb for Flinders St 7-13July was confirmed and paid for in full on 30 June
Jas the host waited until we contacted him on 5july to inform us we were being redirected to 39 Lonsdale St
At no time was our booking at Flinders cancelled by us or the host.
The Lonsdale St apartment was offered under the guise of an upgrade based on it having two rooms and that normally the asking rate was higher than what we had paid
The apartment was old and dirty in many areas and poorly maintained
We have submitted a complaint to Airbnb and in the process of informing John Erens office...minister for tourism Vic of our experience in the hope others don't have similar.
We were left in a situation where we would loose our money , due to the cancellation policy, and have to make a last minute time consuming search for somewhere to stay in Melbourne during the school holidays.
We would not recommend Jas based on our experience .
