Avoid Renting from Philip Lester!
We sent money, no apartment at all!
I found him on this site couple of times!
Too bad a bit late for me!

Here is the letter he wrote me first!

Hello Dan,

Thanks for your interest in my apartment.

Luckily, it is still free for your dates, 19th to 30th October.

The total amount is $1,100 for 11-nights @$100 per night, which includes cleaning fees and tax. However, since you are renting for long term, I will give it to you at the rate of $80 per night. This brings down the total amount to $880.

To secure the Apartment down for your dates, a 50% prepayment is required to confirm a reservation with the balance due in cash upon arrival. 50% of the rental fee will be ($440) + $300, a fixed refundable damage security deposit. The total amount you need pay to book down the Apartment for your desired dates is = $740.

Located on, Hayarkon Street, Tel Aviv.
