Well first of all, I would like to say that we are rating the space based on the following facts-
1st off- Holger was completely inflexible. Originally Holger had a 48 hour policy to cancel and we tried to change the dates after the fact and he refused to help us. So we bit the bullet and we were only going to stay in Holger's property for 2 days but we were paying for 4 due to his need for us to stay there. Holger then had me dancing around and told me that Airbnb wouldn't allow for the change and that he apologized. Then when I contacted Airbnb, they told me that the host actually had all the control and he could change it if he wished. Then when I confronted Holger, he then finally shared the truth that 'since Covid-19", they've really taken a hit and that they need to recuperate their losses somehow. First red flag=lying. So we agreed, we showed up to Barcelona and we were allowed to drop off our belonging's first then check in at 5pm (unheard of). Upon arrival, they had multiple painters, literally painting the walls of the property, (photos for proof, email directly for reference of space MSATTARZADEH@MAC.COM). The property literally reeked off fresh paint, and that was around 2pm, and check in was at 5pm. Anyone that has a brain, knows that paint smell does not go away magically. It is not a lock or latch they fixed, or a bedding issue, etc. it was PAINT. Therefore, my 66 year old uncle who suffers from asthma, literally could not stay in that unit to breathe in that toxic paint smell. Again, pictures for proof. And in addition, they closed off one of the rooms because of the painting, which was the master bedroom and additional bathroom so the ad was a false advertisement on top of everything. Therefore, we reached out to Holger same day, he did not even bother to answer my message. So we decided to leave the unit without staying there for a single day/night and he refused to give us any of our money back. This truthfully is a huge issue and caused us a major delay in Barcelona on our once in a lifetime vacation. We then had to abruptly find 3 hotel rooms same day which was a major headache and expense. To this day, Holger has not responded. And by writing this post, i am doing you all a favor by warning you that this is not right! As a worldly, American traveler, spare yourself the headache and cost and DO NOT STAY HERE.
Thanks for reading.
