Glasgow east end flat owner charging £20,000 for five-night stay during COP26 summit

A Dennistoun flat owner is charging an exorbitant £20,000 for a five-night stay at the property during the COP26 climate summit next week.

The flat, located in Finlay Drive, discovered by Glasgow Live, was advertised on hotel and property reservations website Booking.com under the term 'Glasgow Scenic Views'.

The flat listing reads: "Offering city views, Glasgow Scenic Views is an accommodation situated in Glasgow, 0.9 miles from Celtic Park and 1 miles from Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. With free private parking, the property is 750 yards from Glasgow Necropolis and less than 0.6 miles from Glasgow Cathedral.

"The apartment has two bedrooms, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, an equipped kitchen with a microwave and an oven, a washing machine, and two bathrooms with a shower. George Square is 1.2 miles from the apartment, while Buchanan Galleries is 1.3 miles from the property. The nearest airport is Glasgow Airport, 8.1 miles from Glasgow Scenic Views."

A five-night stay at the property between Monday, November 1 and Saturday, November 6 - during the COP26 climate summit - costs £20,000 (including taxes and charges) for two people or £18,000 for one person. The price in non-refundable.

It comes after Airbnb blocked one greedy Glasgow host who demanded an extra $2000 from a guest for their COP26 booking.

The Glasgow landlord has been barred from taking bookings over the COP26 event after he demanded his guest travelling from America pay extra money or face cancellation.
