Room for Rent and other rental scams

I tried searching on the email address and nothing came up. It would not search on the website name because the words were too common. I did notice the wording of my email seemed similar to another reported scam. I've included the email and headers below. Thank you for any advice!

We are available throughout that time. The cost per day is £85,So for 4 weeks the total is £2280.

This includes all utilities. There is a fully equipped kitchen. We supply all linens, and there is parking space.
