Who Is This Residence For?
C/ D’Amigó 25 1-2 Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is a branded independent house located in the upper district of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, about 4 km northwest of central Barcelona. It suits students who prioritise a quiet, residential environment and are comfortable sharing facilities. The property operates as a managed residence with communal spaces and a set of house rules that aim to create a structured community.
Given the minimum lease of 4 months, this is a realistic option for exchange students, short-term master’s programmes, or anyone who needs a medium-term stay without the commitment of a full academic year. The neighbourhood is known for being safe, green, and well-connected by bus and the YeGo shuttle (a private transport service for the area). The closest metro station is El Putxet (L3), roughly a 15-minute walk, so residents who don’t mind a short bus ride or walking will find the location acceptable.
The property includes an elevator, lockers, and key access — basic but functional features. The outdoor territory and views receive consistent praise in reviews, which suggests the house has a pleasant exterior and common areas. Students who enjoy having a garden or terrace to study or relax in will appreciate this setting.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
This residence may not suit students who value personal space and freedom. One review explicitly states that “you do not have an option to stay alone” — rooms are designed for two people, and the reviewer considered them “extremely small” for sharing. If you are looking for a private studio or a single-occupancy room in a shared apartment, this property is not the right fit.
Another recurring point is the strict rule enforcement: visitors are not allowed after 11 pm, and staff will “come to the room and kick” guests out. For students who wish to host friends late in the evening or prefer a more independent lifestyle, these regulations can feel overly restrictive.
The distance from central campuses is also a factor. While the University of Barcelona and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya have facilities in the city centre, the commute from Sarrià-Sant Gervasi can take 30–45 minutes by public transport. If you have early-morning classes or frequent late sessions, the added travel time might be inconvenient.
Additionally, the property is classified as a non-ensuite unit, meaning bathroom and possibly kitchen facilities are shared. Students who prefer an ensuite or a private kitchen should consider other options in Barcelona’s wide pool of 189 properties currently listed.
What Residents Actually Say
Among the 510 Google reviews, the overall rating is 4.0 out of 5, indicating a mostly positive experience with some notable detractors. Below are verbatim quotes from the three reviews included in the dataset.
Tomass Ansons (rating 4):
“Everything was at its best, except the distance (bus and YeGo covered us), the staff and the service, the outdoor territory and the views were amazing! Thank you!”
This review highlights the main trade-off: the location is far from the centre, but the on-site team and common areas compensate. The mention of “views” suggests the building has a vantage point that is not typical of inner-city student housing.
Bartu Kucukkinaci (rating 1):
“I stayed at this residence for a year and it was really bad in every aspect. The rooms are extremely small for 2 people and you do not have an option to stay alone. Too many rules to follow and they are stupid rules also. You can not visit your friends in the residence after 11 pm they will come to the room and kick ev”
This is a strong warning for anyone expecting a relaxed, flexible living arrangement. The reviewer’s frustration centres on forced double occupancy and strict curfews. Note that the review cuts off mid-sentence, but the meaning is clear.
Teoman Orcun T. (rating 5):
“Just stayed a night as a tourist. Buffet is incredible, fabulous! Rooms are clean and decent nothing to exaggerate. I would say rooms 4 star (due to shower was not going well), cleanliness 5 star and buffet is 5 star. Thus i gave 5 star.”
This review is from a short-term tourist, not a long-term student resident. It is still valuable as it confirms that the rooms are clean and the buffet (likely a paid meal option) is highly rated. The shower issue — “was not going well” — may be a maintenance point worth asking about during a viewing.
Taking all three together, the picture is mixed. Service, cleanliness, and outdoor spaces are strong points. The deal-breakers are tiny shared rooms, strict rules, and distance from the city centre.
Price Positioning in Barcelona
Barcelona’s student housing market offers options starting from 250 EUR per month (the city’s from-price). This minimum likely corresponds to a shared room in a distant neighbourhood or a lower-standard private room in a non-ensuite apartment. The C/ D’Amigó property is located in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, one of Barcelona’s pricier residential districts, so its rent is expected to be above that baseline.
No exact monthly price is listed in the dataset — only a deposit of 770 EUR is provided. Deposits typically equal one month’s rent in Spain, so you might expect a monthly rent in the range of 700–800 EUR, but this is speculation and should not be taken as fact. The operator must confirm the actual price. All figures here are indicative — confirm with the operator.
Compared to other properties in the city, this residence likely sits in the mid-to-upper tier, especially if the buffet and outdoor areas are included in the price. Bargain hunters on a tight budget will find cheaper alternatives, especially in neighbourhoods like Gràcia or Eixample where shared apartments with fewer rules can be found for 350–500 EUR per room.
Room Types and Booking Timing
The property is classified as a non-ensuite unit within a branded independent house. This means you will share a bathroom and likely a kitchen with other residents. The only room option available is a double-occupancy room — there is no single room mentioned. If you are willing to share a small room with another person, this could work. If not, you should look elsewhere.
Booking timing: The tag “not_available” in the dataset suggests that as of the data collection date, the property may not be accepting new bookings. However, availability changes frequently in student housing. The recommended approach is to check directly with the operator for 2026 or 2027 intake dates. Since the minimum lease is 4 months, you can align your move-in with semester start times. Typically, Barcelona’s autumn semester begins in September and the spring semester in January. Book at least 2–3 months in advance for the best chance of securing a spot, especially if you want the double room option.
FAQ
H3: Can I live alone in this residence?
Based on reviews, no. One resident explicitly states there is no option to stay alone, and rooms are designed for two people. If you require a private room, this property does not offer that configuration.
H3: Is the neighbourhood safe for students?
Yes, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is one of Barcelona’s safest and most upscale districts. The area is quiet, with tree-lined streets and low crime rates. The main drawback is transportation — you will need to rely on buses, the YeGo shuttle, or a long walk to the metro. Night-time safety is generally good, but the last bus times should be checked if you plan to return late.
H3: What happens if I break a house rule?
The residence enforces rules strictly, including a no-visitor policy after 11 pm. According to one review, staff will come to your room and ask visitors to leave immediately. Repeated violations could lead to warnings or eviction, depending on the operator’s policies. It is best to ask for a full list of rules before signing the contract.
