for the past few years, we have rented an apartment for a few days on our annual trip to europe. this year, we want to rent an apartment in barcelona for 5 nights. we typically scour the internet for apartments, checking photos, location, etc and then enter into negociations with company/owner. we have had great experiences the last two years.
this year, we found an appropriate apartment (on plaza cataluyna)for a fair price. however the company/owner does not respond to any e-mails/ questions. i am reluctant to send off 500 euros based on a web site photos without some sort of assurance that the company is straight up honest. does anybdy know http://www.athome-barcelona.com or might know a short term apartment rental firm in barcelona?
