An Airbnb property advertised as a “cottage” in Amsterdam turned out to be a shipping container with mattresses on the floor.
British tourist Ben Speller had booked the listing, which cost around £100 a night, for a stay in the Netherlands last week.
He booked the property, described as a “clean home in Amsterdam with a private bathroom”, as a base during his trip to watch Tottenham Hotspur’s football match against a local team, Ajax.

“We thought, ‘This can’t be it,’” he told Dutch site AT5. “But when we got out it turned out that it was true.”
