Our recent trip to Spain wasn't issue-free. I've heard about problems with Airbnbs, but I've used them around the world and had positive experiences. For this trip, I'd booked a place with a terrace and an ocean view. I always make sure we have a king-sized bed so we'll sleep well. When we arrived at our lovely apartment, after traveling halfway around the world, we found a full-sized bed. This would not work. I contacted the host, and he said it was "Spanish King." Fortunately, he and Airbnb agreed to issue us a full refund. That was the good news. Unfortunately, we had to find new accommodations, and it was already late in the afternoon.
This is one of those stories with a very happy ending. We ended up in a wonderful hotel right in the heart of the city. We had a view of the cathedral and were only a few blocks away from the ocean. We were also much closer to restaurants and shops. It ended up being a better choice, and the bed was huge!
