Lock on building door is impossible to open so I was locked out on the street several times. Scary and felt dangerous to not be able to get into the building. My first night in Barcelona a man was following me. I managed to lose him but just wanted to get back to my room. I stood on the alleyway/street for 10 minutes jiggling the key to try to get the door open. I felt scared and frustrated. I messaged the host. She came downstairs and instead of apologizing she made me feel stupid “a hundred people live in the building and they all get in.” Describing to me the nuances of how to insert and wiggle the key. The next day it happened again. I’m not stupid! I messaged the host and she did not reply. So there I was waiting until someone came out before I could get in. Totally would not recommend this situation for anyone. To be in a strange city/country and not be able to get into your accommodations.
The place was up several flights of stairs, clean and well appointed.
