I’ll start off this review with the good: the Airbnb is exactly as portrayed and in a good area to see sights.
Unfortunately, I had an awful experience with these hosts that ultimately ended up with me stranded at the Barcelona airport with no accommodations at all. My flight to Barcelona was delayed two hours, and they decided that it was too inconvenient to check me in. While I was on my flight to Barcelona about to take off, they called me to tell me that it would be more convenient if I found a hotel room for the night instead of checking in. They told me that I would find a room for under 60 euro, which was the price of their late check in fee. I hesitantly agreed but was of course disappointed because that meant my paying for the first night at their place was pointless. Once I landed in Barcelona, there were no hotels. I (with the help of Airbnb specialists) called over 20 hotels in the area. They were all booked up, or were over 200 euros. I tried to call the hosts, but all they did was pick up and hang up on me. That’s right, they picked up the phone and hung it up in order to get me to stop calling. Hosts like this who could care less about their guests reduce the legitimacy of Airbnb and degrade the service, which is why I plead to whoever is reading this to choose a different host, as these bring shame to the service and don’t deserve to be patronized.
I was able to stay in their Airbnb after waiting at the airport for over twelve hours, unable to sleep the entire time due to safety issues. This truly put a damper my holiday in Barcelona.
