I stayed in this apartment with my family from the 30 of December until the 5 of January. The apartment is it looks in the pictures, although the furniture is dated and the beds uncomfortable. One of the bedrooms faces a busy street and it is nearly impossible to sleep at night. At the time we checked in the agent from HABITAT APPARTMENTS told me that the apartment had been painted a few days before and that a family had stayed there afterwards. After she left, the smell of paint became unbearable. My wife and children’s eyes became irritated and my wife started coughing. We opened all windows hoping the smell would go away, but it did not during our 8 day stay. When we opened the windows we realised the apartment had just been painted as the painting was falling off the junctures because the windows had never been opened after painting. We considered moving to a hotel, but it was peak season and not easy to find place for 5. We then wrote to Habitat Apartments and received no answer. The second day, we started experiencing electrical problems and continuous power shortcuts and half of the plugs did not work. We contacted the emergency number fearing a fire hazard and they told us they would send maintenance. The person never came. Problems continued throughout the week and the company was completely unresponsive. The last day of our stay they sent us an email with a brief apology. We told them that would not do since they ruined our stay in Barcelona. Next day they sent an email assuring us we would be compensated. We again never heard from them. This company obviously does not care for their guests comfort, health and safety. We are lodging a formal complaint with Airbnb.
