The meaning of private

We arrived to our accommodation in Barcelona to discover that private room has a slightly different meaning here.

Be caèful booking self catering in Barcelona and unless the listing specifically mentions door locks the room probably doesn't have any. A quick search on Booking.com and a much better place was found and booked just 9 mins away and although it is a hotel it will do for our stopover in Barcelona.Read more
