First of all, the pictures that are posted online were obviously staged with professional quality stage lighting making the space appear bright and airy, full of light. This was a definite bait and switch as the apartment is dark, dreary, and cave-like. In addition to the photos misrepresenting the space, we had the issue of marijuana smoke permeating the space through the small door and window in the front of the apartment, the one and only source of light and air in the apartment. As such, we were unable to open the windows which only worsened the cave-like claustrophobic feeling of the space. As a family of four who arrived in the evening to this situation, we were not going to subject our children, or ourselves to the constant stream of marijuana smoke and immediately tried to make other arrangements. This was all but a smooth transaction. We arrived to the apartment around 7 pm (greeted by a cloud of marijuana smoke in the entryway), Reyes showed us the apartment (upon opening the front window/door, she quickly closed it again realizing that marijuana smoke was abound), she turned on the AC and kindly shared maps and activities with us. As soon as Reyes left, my husband and I determined that we would not subject our children or ourselves to marijuana smoke, nor could we stay in an apartment in which we couldn't even open a window for air and light. I called airbnb at 8pm and was on the phone with them until 10:30 pm trying to resolve the situation and find alternative accommodations. Airbnb was trying to determine if this was cause for refund, etc. while we were trying to communicate our concern to Reyes. Finally, at 11:30 pm we received news that we would be refunded half of our payment and that Airbnb would provide us with $200 toward our first night stay in the hotel. We didn't even spend one evening in the apartment due to the marijuana smoke infiltration, and after hours on the phone with airbnb and Reyes we were ultimately disappointed that Reyes would only refund half of our payment... Really... Half... Reyes herself met us to show us the apartment and give us the keys and she clearly experienced the presence of marijuana smoke abound firsthand. Knowing that we are a family with children who refuse to subject our children to marijuana smoke, she still refused to provide a full refund. We ended up checking into our hotel at 12:30 am, stressed out, upset, and exhausted. We ended up having to spend over $1,000 Euro at a hotel for the remainder of our stay. This situation definitely cast a negative shadow on our vacation in Barcelona. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone. Allow me to add that the week prior we stayed in an airbnb in Paris that was AMAZING, exactly like the pictures, and perfect accommodation for our family. That said, I will proceed with caution in future bookings with...
