Woman disgusted after booking £500 luxury city centre flat... only to get 'dirty' apartment with half-eaten BURGER left in oven

A woman who booked a £500 on a luxury city centre apartment is warning others of online scams after she was given a 'completely different flat' to the one advertised.
Jayne Hindle, 32, from Worsley, booked the apartment though Booking.com about a month ago as a treat for her godson's 19th birthday. She believed she was reserving a flat in Victoria Residence on Silvercroft Street, and described the accommodation as a 'beautiful apartment with a swimming pool'.

"It ruined the night, to be honest," Jayne said. "I was fuming. I paid £500 for that flat."
The 32-year-old sent the host a message saying she was disappointed with the apartment as it was a different flat to the photos showed online. The first message she received in reply apologised for the leftover food but told her: "Honestly you are in one of the best apartments in Manchester city centre". The message was later deleted.
She then complained through Booking.com and received a shocking tirade of abuse from the host in response.
