Apartment Colom 2 -

So, according to you, I tried to scam you €16 and I was also so stupid that I left you a receipt as proof... I don't know Jay, think about it a bit. As I tried to explain to you, the tax that is included in the reservation is VAT, I have no choice but to charge it this way even though VRBO and the other platforms charge me a commission on a tax that I then have to pay to the government. The €16 tax is the City Tax charged by the Barcelona City Council to all tourists (€4 per person and night, currently) it is the duty of all tourist establishments (hotels, apartments, etc.) to collect it from tourists and settle the tax quarterly basis. In this case, this tax is variable, depending on the quality of the establishment, the age of the travelers and the number of days, it is so special that the platforms give the option of charging it through their system or collecting it personally at the time of Check -in. I prefer to collect it in person, I save the commission that VRBO charges and I save you the commission that VRBO also charges you. If you were so clear that I wanted to scam you the impressive amount of €16, you could have called VRBO and reported it instead of throwing the stone around here, don't you think?
