Terrible property managers.

1.0

There was nothing to like as they never let me into the apartment.

After I booked the property, I was given a link to pay a security deposit (I had already paid for the place). Unfortunately, my card kept getting rejected on their site even though it was working just fine everywhere else. The only solution the property manager offered was for me to travel to the business office, which was on the other side of town from the rental, and pay in person. In all my years of booking rentals, I had never been told to travel across town to pay a security deposit. I was in Barcelona for a day and didn't want my precious time spent on securing the rental, so I decided to cut my losses and sleep on a friend's couch instead. I am now in the process of filing a complaint to get my money back.

Na 2-3 noce można przeżyć przymykając na pewne wady. Z pewnością na plus lokalizacja. Metro, busy szybko pod ręką.

Wszystko w apartamencie jest już mocno zmęczone. Meble, panele wszystko już wymaga napraw... z czystością też był pewien problem. Niestety za takie ceny to wymagałbym trochę więcej jakości.

Localização, infraestrutura

Não tinha secador de cabelos, fosa a cama de casal, só tem caminha de criança. Avisam que hospedam 4 pessoas, só se forem crianças, adultos não dá.
