This apartment is offered by a local real estate company which has multiple apartments.
Traveling to Barcelona with my sister and parents, I chose this apartment especially for its balcony and a flood of natural sunlight into the living room.
Unfortunately, upon arrival, we became victims of “bait and switch.” The company put us into an entirely different apartment with no sunlight, facing a building wrapped in construction materials that overshadowed the room. They had offered me that other apartment before, which I clearly refused. They confirmed my choice – and then went on to deceive me.
The apartment was poorly equipped for our 9 day stay. We paid $2440 but received a bare minimum. No toiletries except hand soap, two dishwasher tablets, and one and half rolls of toilet papers. No wine glasses and no wine opener either. We had to go out and buy everything. Some hospitality!
On the plus side, they were very helpful in arranging taxi transfers from and to the airport.
In summary, the company that rents out this apartment lied to me and their “hospitality” was stingy.
