HORRIBLE. Appallingly rude host. I've stayed at many Airbnbs and this was the first time I've had a host be anything but lovely, let alone so horribly rude to me, I felt physically sick. Just recalling it now I feel sick again, but I thought people should know. I'd asked whether they could recommend a babysitter, and they suggested someone at double the market Barcelona rate. So I said no thanks, I'd use an agency for that price as I would have the security of a vetted and insured sitter. The response was a nasty "you are wasting people's time. Go ahead and save money in your kid's security" which despite its nonsensical nature I was just sickened that someone could be so horrible. The agency sitter cost less even than the one they suggested.
Its really made me reconsider using Airbnb because if someone is rude to you at a hotel, you can complain to management and won't have to deal with them again. Here you are stuck already having paid for the whole trip and no choice. After the rude message I never heard from the host again, so we didn't know what to do at check out, we just left the keys and left. The morning of check out was weird- someone prank buzzed the flat and didn't respond, then a bit later there was a second buzz at the door bell and someone asked if there was anyone Philipino living there. Racist bizarre way of checking if we'd left yet maybe?
Also the flat is shabby and not worth the cost. The walls in the smaller bedrooms are scuffed like the last guests slept with their shoes on. The towels smell musty like they were left wet for too long. The shower in the bathroom doesn't work properly. One of the bedrooms has a window into the living room (maybe it is legal in Spain, I don't know). There are no instructions at all about the flat so you don't know that the taps are mixed up on the bath and that you need to use matches (found in the living room) to light the stove.
