Finding accommodation is becoming more and more complicated. Owners who are bombarded with messages often don't even bother to respond.
That's what this Spanish user of X thought. As our Spanish colleagues from 20 Minutos report, Miguel Ángel was looking for an apartment in Madrid (Spain) more than eleven years ago.

“I communicate better by phone”
Eleven years later, he finally received an answer that was, to say the least, unlikely: “Call me, it will be easier. I was away all weekend for a funeral and hadn't seen the news. I communicate better over the phone, I'm lazy when it comes to messages, and I don't just check them every now and then.” Time. I greet and apologize.”
