Creepy responses to backpackers' request for Sydney accommodation

English backpackers looking for rental in Sydney flooded with creepy offers

Two glamorous English backpackers who were looking for a room to rent have been inundated with a series of creepy offers.

Stevie Davies and her friend put a callout for a vacant room in a Facebook group hoping to find a place in Sydney’s ritzy eastern suburbs.

Ms Davies shared a number of photos from a trip in Bali showing the pair dressed in summer outfits and pouting.

‘We are looking to share a room – anywhere from Zetland, Bondi, Randwick, Coogee etc,’ the post read.

‘Both English, will be working, in our late twenties & both sick at cooking.’

Ms Davies listed a price guide of £600 – which is $1,156 Australian dollars.

The price is well within the price range of rent in Sydney with the average cost sitting at $700 a week.

The social media post immediately drew in a number of disturbing offers from men with one offering to share their bed.

‘I will kick my girlfriend out, when would you ladies like to move in?’ another wrote.

A third added: ‘You still got that room with the spy hole?’

One suggested he would move back to the area just to live with the two women.

‘We gonna have to convert the front room to sleeping quarters,’ a second wrote.

‘FFS do something,’ another added.

Other social media users made light of the situation joking residents should not rent their rooms out to them.

‘Messy girls, avoid!’ one wrote in a tongue-in-cheek comment.

Ms Davies saw the humour and responded with a laughing emoji.

Daily Mail Australia contacted Ms Davies for comment.
