FAQ

How much is student housing in Barcelona?
Listed Barcelona apartments generally run from about EUR 350 to EUR 1,200 a month. Rooms in shared flats sit at the lower end; whole studios in Eixample and Gracia sit at the upper end. The cheapest units are usually taken 4 to 6 months before term starts.
Which neighbourhoods suit students in Barcelona?
Eixample and Gracia are the usual first choices for central living with metro access. Sants and Poblenou are cheaper and still well connected, and Poblenou is closest to UPF Ciutadella and the 22@ campuses.
Can I book a Barcelona apartment before I arrive in Spain?
Yes. Contracts are signed digitally and paid by bank transfer or card, so you can reserve from your home country and collect keys on arrival.
Do I need a Spanish guarantor or NIE to rent?
Not for the apartments listed here. Landlords on this page accept international students without a Spanish guarantor, and an NIE is not required to sign. Bring your passport and proof of enrolment.
How long are the leases?
Most Barcelona listings are billed by full calendar month and run for a semester, roughly September to January or February to June. Full-year and summer stays are also available, and start dates are usually flexible.
