Q: We are planning to rent an apartment for our holiday in Barcelona and found a good choice of apartments from some apartment rental companies online. I have searched for information on these companies and found only a few comments about these agencies.  I would be very thankful if you could tell me if you have any knowledge about specific rental companies in Barcelona and whether it is OK and trustworthy for us to book with one?

A: We have written a specialist article on how to do some background checks to see if a Barcelona apartment rental company that is online is likely to be a reliable company. Of course the tests mentioned on our page are not completely foolproof but they do give you a strong guideline as to whether you can trust the apartment company you choose.

We do not have dealings directly with apartment rental firms in Barcelona so we are unfortunately unable to give you specific advice on particular companies.

Please see our link below for some useful information that will not only explain how to do checks on a company but also other important tips on what to consider when choosing your Barcelona apartment rental.
