Hello Mike, I will explain exactly how this will work: I will send you the link to my listing on airbnb and you must book the apartment for a minimum of 2 Months.
You will have to fill up the booking page with your details. After you complete it, you will receive by email the booking confirmation and payment details( from this moment you have 24 hours to complete the payment).
After you solve the payment, you must send me the proof, so I can confirm with airbnb that you made the payment and won the apartment.
When the payment is confirmed by airbnb, in a maximum of 48 hours, but usually it takes around 24 hours, they will contact you to establish a meeting, so you can see the apartment.
When you go to see the apartment you must decide if you want to stay there or not.
If you want to stay, they will transfer the payment to me and give you the keys with a contract for the entire period that you want to stay.
If you don't want to stay, you will get a full refund from airbnb, directly to your bank account.
Let me know if you understand and also if you agree so I can send you the link and solve everything.
Also make sure that you have the entire amount in your bank account, for a minimum of 2 months + deposit (that will be 500£ X 2 + 500£ deposit = 1500£).
After the first 2 months you will send the rent directly to my bank account, monthly.
