A bricklayer who was staying at an Airbnb while he worked through 'personal issues' has allegedly been killed by the three men who were living on the property.

Ramis Jonuzi was on his way out of a home on Alexander Street in Brighton East on Wednesday night when he was killed in the front yard.

The 36-year-old had only been at the property for a week when he allegedly told a friend that he didn't like the 'energy' of the place and was planning on leaving early,  reports.

The three men were living at the Alexander Street address at the time, with Craig Levy listed as the owner of the property on Airbnb.

And while past visitors to the property have praised it for being budget friendly at $30 a night, many others complained about everything from the plumbing to feeling 'unsafe.'

The most recent reviewer, who rented the room in August, said she did not stay at the house because there was no lock on her door and she felt unsafe.

'Didn’t find the premises appropriate for a female as there was no personal lock on room door!' The review said.

'Better way to spend a night, buy a $50 hammer smash your hand with it and go to the emergency hospital,' another person wrote last November.

So far police have not said how Mr Jonuzi died but it has been said that paramedics attempted to revive him when they arrived on the scene.

A spokesman for Airbnb said they were 'deeply saddened and outraged' by the tragedy.

'The family will have our full support and our hearts go out to them and all of his friends,' the spokesman said. 'We have removed this listing from our platform and will fully cooperate with law enforcement on their investigation.'
