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

Ease of booking

I love the prices and the accessibility of the website.

Flatio is really easy to use and understand. I hope I can find what I'm looking for there!

Everything

The process of revising the contract (check in and out dates) should be better as plans change every time. In other hand, the support is amazing. Even so, we could save time with a smarter process once the 3 parties are connected via system.

Si, el control de los inquilinos. Este que he tenido, por ejemplo, tuve duda hasta que llegó. Un tipo raro, encerrado en su habitación todo el dia. Me dijo que iba a trabajar y visitar clientes. A parte unos dias que se fue a Londres, no se movió de casa. Menos mal que estaba en Barcelona para visitar España... un poco raro, pero la convivencia estuvo bien.

This is my first time attempting to use the service..

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!
