Warning- this is not an AirBnB! This is a professional holiday letting service which uses AirBnB to advertise their properties. Shortly after booking you will be required to (1) Further register all your details and passport details on the vendor's website (2) Pay taxes via your debit card (3) Put down a 200 EUR deposit which is deducted from your card for the entire stay (4) Download an app in order to be able to have a digital key and access the property
Fine if that's the service you wanted. A real pain if you're in a rush and want the convenience of the AirBnB platform experience which is what most of us sign up for. The customer service staff were nice and helpful- it's not their fault that it's a corporate using AirBnB and it seems like they get lots of negative feedback.
The apartment itself was clean, gorgeous and well located with great eating places in the neighbourhood. A little bit dark and dingy- but usually in Barcelona somewhere to sleep is all you need!
