Be careful when choosing this apartment!!
Myself and three friends stayed for 4 nights in this apartment.
In advance I had informed Habitat Apartments that I would be arriving at the apartment at 16:00, but we had to wait an extra hour until a host arrived. After a quick run through of the apartment we was left to our own devices and started our holiday.
After some exploring of the area we found that the location of apartment was perfect. Everything was walk able from the apartment and seemed like we hit the jackpot (apart from the frequent loss of power when using the washing machine).
A couple of days into our holiday we headed out to the Barcelona stadium tour (well recommended). We made sure as we always did, that the balconies were locked and the front door had been double locked (as explained to us by the host). We were out of the apartment for a few hours before our return. On our return everything was completely as we left it... or so we thought.
While we was out of the apartment someone had let themselves into the apartment, broke into our safe and stole all of our money and a few other things. Now i haven't explained this, but this apartment is on a fob entry (electronic) and you cannot operate the handle/thumb turn without activating it with the fob. Also It is the ONLY apartment in the block that has this fob entry, with every other apartment having a keyed entry.
I would also like to add there was no sign of forced entry into the apartment, with the only damage being found on the safe (which i had changed the code on). A fob or a very advanced electrical device would have been needed to gain access into the apartment.
Nearly 2 weeks later and i am still trying to find out how Habitat Apartments are dealing with what happened. They have had all the information including the police report that they requested, but i am not holding my breath.
What happened did not ruin our holiday as Barcelona was amazing. We were just disappointed with how Habitat Apartments have dealt with this incident as in my eyes they have been extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate. This would have been a different review if it had been dealt with correctly.
