****med bogus apartment

I made a booking to that apartment for 2 nights, 8 to 10 March 2023, and paid for it. I never got the opportunity to sleep there because upon arrival I contacted the number provided by booking.com but with no luck. I had to look for alternative accommodation...made contact with booking.com but even they could not get in touch with the host or the property. The next morning I made contact with the number provided but was told that it is nit the correct number and that she is not in any way involved at Bay View... Conclusion...bogus apartment and a BIG ****!!!
