15 Years of Music at Primavera Sound in Barcelona
Primavera Sound is an unmissable rendezvous for any self-respecting festival goer, and more so this particular edition of the festival, which marks its 15th anniversary. A festival that started in 2001 with a mere 7,700 visitors, and which managed to bring together no less than 190,000 people last year. This level of success in such a short period of time makes the festival unique. But worry not because there’s still time- you have until May 30th to get your act together. What are you waiting for; get your Primavera Sound 2015 tickets already!

All owners who have registered their property at Only-apartments will have had the chance to exchange a couple of comments with their corresponding Account Manager. But who exactly are these people? Their job is to advise us regarding our ad, to constantly remind us to keep our calendar up to date, to let us know whether any info is inaccurate, and they keep us informed about upcoming events and important dates that can bring in more bookings… In short, they are that Jiminy Cricket that every home owner needs and wants when it comes to managing the ad for their property at the Only-apartments website. And it is high time to meet the face behind the name of each of those ‘voices of conscience’ that are at our disposal for whatever we may need. To that end, we have created a brief questionnaire to help us zoom in a little on our Account Manager, know who we are talking to, and bring to life the character at the other end of the screen/phone line.
