Airbnb fury: Barcelona woman books own flat and changes locks to kick out subletting tenantsALBERT GEA/REUTERS She rented out her flat in Barcelona for $1426 a month, but he was subletting it for up to $370 a night. A Barcelona woman who sneakily booked her own apartment on Airbnb and barred herself inside says it was the only quick way to kick out her subletting tenants. Barcelona is Spain's most popular tourist city and the city has had huge issues with illegal subletting on Airbnb. Perez contacted Airbnb, but the company said all it could do was "mediate between me and the host", she said. Airbnb told the Telegraph it had suspended the listing of Perez's flat while it looked into the dispute.
