Барселона, Испания: Read reviews from both tenants and landlords who've had rental experiences in this destination!

Navigating the renting scene in a new country can be stressful, and a major source of worry for us were the many cases of tricky situation with landlords. Having intermediary made us feel like our deposit was safer (we are usually careful in documenting starting and end states of the places we rent, and we are good tenants). It might be helpful to have a standard procedure to document the state of the place at start and end of the contract. We uploaded photos somewhere, but the procedure can be a bit cumbersome, especially if the tenants are not computer savy (a proper documentation of the state of a place takes between 10 and 20 pictures, in my experience). Finally, crucial to us was the fact that the prices were more accessible than airbnb-type prices, and that water, electricity and internet were already set up. What could be done better? It would be good to receive money back if utilities are spent below a certain threshold. This allows people with a tighter budget to afford a nicer place by being more careful about how much water / electricity they spend. Not to mention the fact that this is likely to mitigate wasted resources!

Easy of use. No payment to inquire about bookings.

It was easy, the landlord was a pleasure to work with and communication was efficient.

very nice web page :)

It offers many short-term apartments

Muy agil y bien gestionado

It's simple and I hope trustworthy

The communication lag was sometimes frustrating.

Overall very happy. I found a good apartment and didn’t have to deal with utilities and such. It made our extended stay easy. My only complaint is the fee associated with payment via credit card.

Everything pleased me with the experience

I really liked that I had a phone number that I could call 24/7 in case of any issues, that made me feel assured that I will not be left alone in case I have any problems during my stay. The contract was also short and easily readable which made me feel confident that I know what I am getting myself into and that this is not a scam.

It's pretty awesome - I wish spain would allow smaller stays like 2 weeks but Flatio has always been great.

Monthly rentals with a contract, always great customer support, and nice landlords and accommodations. The free cancellations in case of issues are great too.

I particularly appreciate that if the appartment does not correspond to the posted description, you will refund us and be available to help us out to find another suitable location

service fee too high

The response rate could be a little faster.

Easy to navigate.

I just started using your site, but so far, it looks proimising!

Reasonable prices for apartments, great service, and safe deals. Thank you so much for your help with our new life chapter in Barcelona!

Good cancellation policies, good protection for tennants, refund policy, etc. Customer service seems like it will be good. This is my first time booking with Flatio. :)
