There seems to have been a mix up. All those glowing reviews I've read most definitely CANNOT be about Azucena
To start things off, how does someone who hosts travellers regularly, not seem to understand the concept of flight delays? She acted as though I purposely delayed my international flights just to inconvenience her.
TELLING A SOLO FEMALE TRAVELER TO FIND A HOTEL ROOM AT 00:30 IN A STRANGE NEW CITY IS NOT OKAY
Especially considering the fact that she was given notice weeks in advance that it's a late night flight. She threatened to not open the door if I didn't arrive in 15 minutes - and after rushing and making the cab driver speed - she refused to open the door for me. I HAD TO BEG HER TO LET ME IN. Absolutely DISGUSTING behaviour on her part, and I will be reporting her to Airbnb.
Her behaviour was nothing short of hostile during the entirety of my stay. I have never felt more uncomfortable in my life. I would literally stay in my room whenever she's home, or quickly leave the apartment.
The apartment is tiny, hot, and uncomfortable. She even tried to blame a dodgy bathroom door handle (which had clearly been damaged before) breaking on us. I would have tolerated the subpar apartment had her behaviour been better, but unfortunately, it wasn't.
Azucena definitely made my stay in Barcelona an extremely unpleasant one. Cheers for that.
