Cancellation policy |
For short term reservations of a two bedroom apartment we will return your 25% deposit minus 50 EUR for cancellations up to 4 weeks prior to the scheduled arrival date. We keep the reservation amount if less than 4 weeks. During the high season, and only for apartments of 3 or more bedrooms or stays of over two weeks, there will be an increased cancellation period of 8 weeks and a cancellation fee of 150 EUR. You can also ask us to keep your whole reservation deposit to apply to a future stay. |
Question: Where can we PARK a car and for how much? |
A: We do not recommend renting a car to see the city,
because the distances are usually very short and having a car is more of a hassle than it's worth. If you would like to take a day trip you can rent it for a day or two and keep it in a parking close to the apartment. In Barcelona, they charge about 33 EUR per day in a guarded and covered parking garage very close to the apartments. For 3 or more days they have a special rate for us of 23 EUR/day.
