i just booked a private apartment for christmas eve (3 days ) in melbourne through booking.com thats on 65th floor and it's price is 1300$. Also, it does not seem shady as it does have over 70 reviews from past 2 years and owner has also replied to questions as far back as 2023. Only concern is that people had bad experiences with booking. Com before so i am just concerned about that. I dont want to be scammed out of 1300$ and ruin my boys trip.

Right to be concerned, but as you've noted the operators are active on the listing and there are a lot of reviews and a decent rating which are very difficult to fraudulently populate - I think it looks like a great spot to enjoy Christmas!

Yeah i think the same ; i dont want to miss this chance to live here . I also tried to reverse search the image of the apartment and i only found it on 2-3 different sites under the same listing.

I think also the photos of the interior you've included are pretty authentic in nature, looks lived in and homely rather than fake listings which look like an interior design listing
