Renting a flat / apartment long term is possible on a website called: thehomelike.com I used this website to find accommodation in Barcelona. Visiting these homes is not allowed before the customer pays. The day one arrives, cancellation is no longer allowed. The problem: thehomelike.com does not check the validity of the pictures on it's website. This, together with being unable to cancel is a recipe for disaster. To make matters worse, customer service only did one thing: they forwarded my complaint to the landlord, as it's not thehomelike you rent withbut a 3rd party. Thus unlike a website like AirBNB there are no set contracts here, but they vary per home. These may be English on their website, but the one you sign may not be. Mine was in Spanish (which I don't speak).
Is thehomelike a trustworthy company / website? No! I rate thehomelike.com with one star and strongly recommend NOT to use this company.
I hope my guest review video of thehomelike.com will help you to avoid making the same mistake I did. Do not pay for an apartment you have never seen without a money back option when you arrive.
