Do NOT, I repeat, do not rent this appartment.
We experienced a breakin on our 2nd day at the appartment. The thieves had a spare copy of the keys to the appartment, and they had the appartment under surveillance. (we base this upon a suspecious knock on the door the previous day, by a man wearing a facemask asking for someone that did not live there).
We were out shopping, we left at 12 o'clock, and returned at 14:30, and the place was emptied out of all our valuables. I called management of the appartment, the representative I spoke with, said he would call me back ASAP on next steps. He never did.
Once I called back, I was informed he was out on another check-in. Pretty frustrating, and a very poor way to handle the situation we feel.
I cannot speak on any other appartments that the hosts has, nor how they handle their security or customer interaction. This review is based upon our 2½ day in Barcelona, at this very location.
And based upon that, I would never in a million years recommend anyone else to rent this.
In fact, this entire experienced has made me question AirBnB as a whole vs. regular hotels.
We still Looove Barcelona as a city, and will return at some point, but we will not be using airbnb again.
