The place was a perfect for us. We were in Barcelona for conference, so we needed a place close to the Convention Center. It was a walking distance to the Convention center and to the nearest Metro (which took us to almost anywhere in Barcelona). The place is exactly as shown in the pictures. We were appreciative the place was clean when we arrived and rather modern. The communication, however, was a problem for us. When we booked initially with Roger, we introduced ourselves. When we had questions, those messages were ignored and were not replied. It really made us nervous, that the host may not be so responsive to simple inquiries. It got so bad, we had to contact the Airbnb resolution center. When closer to check in date, Roger was little more responsive. Communication is so very important in airbnb host-guest relationship and we didn't even know if host was going to honor his obligations when the check in date arrive.
one day before the check in, we get a message from Roger, that because of work, he will be an hour later than the check in time. He knew we would be landing at 2pm, and he says he will be there around 4pm. I asked him to reconsider because we have a long flight ahead of us. After landing we went directly to the convention center from the airport and then slowly went to Roger's flat. We still had to wait 40min outside. I was just happy, we had a place to stay in Barcelona. Other then those incidents, the rest of Barcelona trip was unremarkable.
I would give 5stars for the Roger's apt.
I would give 2 stars for communication and check in.
