Who This Residence Suits
This residence works well for students who prioritise location and a quiet environment over low rent. Its address at 109, L’Eixample puts it within walking distance of major universities served by Metro, Renfe, and bus lines. Many students at the University of Barcelona, Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya find the area convenient.
The presence of an electronic key and lock system adds security. A dishwasher in the unit saves time for those who cook regularly. The residence describes itself as “calm and peaceful,” which appeals to students focused on studying.
Those who value strong community and helpful staff will appreciate the mention of Anna, a staff member praised in multiple reviews.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Students on a tight budget should look elsewhere. The city’s from-price for student housing is €250 per month — the cheapest option in Barcelona. This residence starts at €618, more than double that. The top price of €1,125 is also high even by central Barcelona standards.
Room types are non-ensuite, meaning residents share a bathroom with others. If you need a private bathroom, this property does not offer that.
The tag “not_available” in the listing data suggests the property may currently have limited or no vacancies. Anyone interested must confirm directly with the operator before planning a move.
The property has a deposit of €460, which requires upfront cash before moving in.

Price Positioning vs City From-Price
Barcelona student housing starts at €250 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The residence at C/ D’Aragó starts at €618, which is 2.5 times the city floor price. The upper end is €1,125, or 4.5 times the floor.
For context, the city hosts 189 properties listed on the platform. Prices vary widely by zone: central L’Eixample and surrounding districts command a premium. The price range here is consistent with centrally located, high-rated non-ensuite properties. The Google rating of 4.7 out of 5 supports the value proposition for those willing to pay more.
The deposit of €460 is roughly equivalent to one month’s rent at the lower end.
Room-Type Guidance
The listing includes two unit types: “non_ensuite” and “branded_independent_house”. Non-ensuite means you share a bathroom with other residents in the same unit. Branded independent house likely refers to a building managed by a larger operator offering standardised amenities.
Choosing between them depends on your privacy needs. Non-ensuite rooms are more affordable (toward the €618 end) but require sharing. Independent house units might offer more self-contained layouts, possibly with fewer roommates.
Check the exact configuration with the operator before booking. The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms or shared spaces per unit.
Booking Timing
As of the data date (2026-07), the property carries a “not_available” tag. This could mean no immediate vacancies. However, for starts in 2026 or 2027, spaces may open up as current tenants give notice.
Booking timing typically follows the academic calendar. In Barcelona, peak demand runs from March to June for September entry. If you target a 2026 or 2027 move-in, start inquiring at least 4–6 months ahead. Given the limited availability indicator, contacting the operator early is essential.
No minimum lease term is listed. You should ask about short-stay options if your stay is less than a full academic year.
