Can i trust this link?

Hello, this is my first time using Airbnb and i found the houst trough Facebook marketplace, and then she sent me this link

 

https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/286495619

 

The website seems real but i don't know enough to tell if it is true or if it is just a super well done fake website.

 

Can you help me out?

It is clearly a false link as that is not a real Airbnb address @Alessio308 . If you want to book on Airbnb then book via their website, don't use links from third party channels such as FB . It also brings up a false listing warning when you click on the link.

Im not going to click your link I didn't know Airbnb use .co.uk maybe Im wrong

Any host can have a custom link on Airbnb

Ok i will explain what's inside the link in few words.

 

Interface is absolutely perfect, you cant tell from the interface if it is a fake website.

 

Every button, symbol and word used seems real and trustable.

 

Its just the apartment is cheap for what is shown in the pictures.

 

Also i don't know how listed apartments works.

If in doubt leave it out, there is plenty of others 

@Alessio308 if it's on Facebook marketplace, you can be very sure that it's a scam.
