Que cara! What a cheek!

A Barcelona lady rented her very nice flat to this guy for €900 a month. That is on yearly contract not hol-rent.
He put it into Abb at over €200 a night!
The neighbours complained to the owner who complained to Airbnb who, the lady claims, said tough cheese, not our problem.
So she booked it online for a couple of nights, moved in and changed the locks. (Usually against Spanish law for the owner to do this but he had clearly broken his contract which he hadn't fully signed off on anyway).
She then complained to the City Hall. They can't help much with her problem but the flat was advertised illegally so they are hammering Abnb.
All this just at the end of June. It was in last week's news.
