Owner and Host of a Private Holiday Apartment in Barcelona

I am a host in Barcelona and I would like some advice on the Hosting classification of a Private Host? Or Professional Host?

Hi @Kaveh0!

 

Hope everything is going well. I'm going to tag some experienced members to see if they can help you answer this question : @Joan2709@Guy991  and @Karen114. 😁

 

Thank you all before beforehand! 😊

@Kaveh0  It is my understanding if you do this full time as your primary job you are considered a professional host. 
Is that the case for you ?

@Karen114 Thank you very much for your replies. 
I do rent the apartment full time. It has a Tourist Licence Number. I own the Property and I manage it myself. I do not live at the property. 
I was given the advice from Airbnb support saying that since it I only run 1 listing, it falls under an Individual Host Category. I was told that to fall under the Business Category, I would have to run 10 or more properties.
