I disagree with @Sarah977 as abnb.me is a legitimate mobile url used on the airbnb app, at least in Europe.
Looking via a pc also identifies the apartment with www.airbnb.com/rooms/30344421
Well what can you say, sometime in the recent past these types of ski chalets were popular for criminals to dangle in front of bookers as they go for a very high yield. Of course, a scammers objective is to try to set a plausable tale and to try to get you away from the official site and eventually ask you to wire money, obviously something that should never ever be done.
The sniff test - well zero reviews for a start, the host has two properties, extremely basic verification offered by the host and carried out by airbnb - very limited information about either property, written only in English and not in the local French /Italian or German. Hardly any photographs (only four pictures for a four bedroom chalet?) - photos shown are professionally set as if for hotel/showroom purposes which for me profoundly contradicts the rest of the listing. No rules given. Very weak refund policy selected.
In fact, a lot of this does potentially add up to how scammers typically operate, without it being conclusive in this case I'd add.
You may decide to contact the vendor via the airbnb site to establish communications, however with the caveat to proceed extremly carefully and with the golden rule strictly never to go outside the site.
If you owned a place like this Peter, is this how you would choose to personally market it?
Of course maybe if you were new to airbnb, short of time - it's possible.
For me, for peace of mind I'd personally prefer somewhere with provenance.
Do come back and let us know what you think.
