The good parts; the photos are representative of the house, but it looks bigger than it really is. It was clean. Everything was working properly. The location was ok but not the best. There are the tapas bars nearby. He responds fast.
The bad things; When I first booked the house I was sending messages with someone called Henry (January 2017). I visited Barcelona on April 2017. 4 days before my arrival Mickael send me a message. Until now I don't know why the owner changed. The lady who gave me the keys ( not Mickael's co-host) didn't know who Henry was either.
We had agreed with Henry that we would book the house for 7 persons and 1 would sleep on the couch, but we would have to pay 40€ extra.
When I booked the essentials where included. When Mickael send me the message I checked the rules of the house again, but the essentials where not included. The rules also said that the extra persons would not be of extra charge!!! I asked Mickael for towels, soap, sheets, toilet paper. He said that he would bring towels sheets and toilet paper for 6 persons (not for 7, but he told me that I had to pay the extra 40 euros). Not even a pillow, not a towel, nothing... He gave me 2 toilet papers for 7 people.
The other thing is that he told me that the check in was at 16:00. I was out of the apartment at 15:40. I called him and he told me that he would send a guy to open the door. Until 16:10 nobody came, but someone opened the door. It was a (cleaning maybe) lady who was waiting inside the apartment since 14:00 o' clock. The guy who was coming to open the door went to an other apartment Mickael owns, because Mickael never understood who I was...
And this is the moment I came face to face with the hard truth of Barcelona. Mickael never saw us as guests. We were clients. We where money. That's what I recieved from this host in the end.
Not sure if I would return.
