Me and the missus decided last minute to treat ourselves to a night in the city (we live Brunswick with 2 beautiful girls so we don't get out much but things have been tough recently and our relationship has been on the rocks so I guess I'm an attempt to rekindle the love we have for one another, found ourselves a sitter for the night and searched airbnb listing's with the minimum price of $400 to "spoil" ourselves with somewhere a bit more "prestige" then other listing's. Generally it's not a price range we search through as frankly speaking, we can't afford it, I'm a hard working brick layer while she's got her hands full at home with the kids but were in dire need of a bit of "luxarious comfort" to mend our woes. We came across this listing for $495 a night and after umming and ahhhing a bunch of other ones, selected this one as it was getting late (7pm). Upon entering and after having to pay an additional $40 for parking we were absolutely underwhelmed the minute we saw the room. This listing does not deserve a price of even 270 per night, yet we were duped into paying double. I complained to the reception downstairs and they explained it was a sought after listing and there's events on usually nearby. Sought after? Mate we booked the tiny apartment at 7pm. That is a far cry from somewhere even remotely close to popular let alone "sough after" and there were no events on that night to justify a damn thing.
I'm not one to complain let alone write such a negative review but this airbnb was a rip-off with zero justification to prove otherwise. Shameful.
