Property overview & location
C/ D’Aragó 109 Pr-2 L’Eixample is a residence in the heart of Barcelona’s Eixample district, at 109 L’Eixample, 08015 Barcelona. The building sits just steps from Passeig de Gràcia, one of the city’s main boulevards, and is within walking distance of landmarks such as Casa Batlló. The immediate area is a dense mix of boutiques, restaurants, and metro stations, providing strong connectivity across Barcelona.
The residence offers non-ensuite rooms (shared bathroom facilities) and is classified as a branded independent house. Internet access and electronic lock/key features are included. The minimum lease is 4 months, making it suitable for one academic semester or a medium-term stay. A deposit of €360 is required. Prices range from €804 to €976 per month, with the exact amount depending on room type and availability.
Who this residence suits
This property is best suited for students or young professionals who prioritise location and a calm atmosphere over absolute cost savings. The Eixample location means most major universities in central Barcelona are within a 20–30 minute commute by metro or walking, and the proximity to Passeig de Gràcia makes daily errands and social life convenient.
The residence works well for people who value a peaceful environment. Multiple Google reviewers describe the atmosphere as “calm and peaceful” and “ideal for both studying and relaxing”. If you need a quiet place to focus without the noise of a busy student street, this is a strong option.
It also suits residents who appreciate a well-managed building with responsive staff. Two reviews specifically mention Anna as “super friendly and helpful” and “always kind and helpful”. For newcomers to Barcelona who may need guidance or support, having approachable management reduces the stress of settling in.
Who it may not suit: Budget-conscious renters. The city-wide from-price for student accommodation is €250 per month (for shared or basic rooms in outer neighbourhoods), whereas this residence starts at €804. That is a significant premium, even for central Barcelona. If your budget is tight, you will find cheaper options in Gràcia, Sants, or the city edges.
Also, the unit type is non-ensuite — you will share a bathroom. If you strongly prefer a private bathroom, look for ensuite or studio properties elsewhere. Finally, availability may be limited at peak intake periods (September, January), so last-minute bookers may face higher prices or no vacancies.
What residents actually say
Three verified Google reviews (4.7 rating over 87 reviews) offer specific insights:

“Just by Passeig de Gracia , next to Casa Batllo and with the best connections to all universities, we loved the residence and the atmosphere, so calm and peaceful…” — Carmen Si, 5/5
All three highlight three common themes: excellent location (Passeig de Gràcia proximity), calm atmosphere, and helpful staff (especially Anna). Cleanliness and organization are also noted. No negative reviews appear in the sample, which suggests consistent quality — though the sample is small.
Price positioning and value
Barcelona’s student housing market has a wide price range. The cheapest option across the city is €250 per month (typically a shared room or basic private room in outer districts). The average in central areas usually falls between €500 and €800 for non-ensuite rooms. C/ D’Aragó 109 sits at €804–€976, which is above that average but not the most expensive in Eixample — some premium studios exceed €1,200.
What you pay for here is the location (prime Eixample, 2–3 minute walk to Passeig de Gràcia metro) and the building management quality. The reviews indicate that the property is well-maintained and the staff are responsive, which reduces the risk of maintenance delays or security issues. For a student who wants to minimise commuting time and live in a clean, quiet building, this can justify the premium.
Price comparison: The city’s from-price of €250 is about one-third of the starting price here. That gap reflects the trade-off between budget and convenience. If you prioritise low rent, you can find rooms in outlying neighbourhoods for €350–€500, but you will add 20–40 minutes daily travel.
Deposit: €360 is standard for the segment — about half a month’s rent at the lower end of the range. The minimum lease of 4 months gives flexibility for exchange semesters or short internships.

Room types and lease terms
The property offers non-ensuite rooms (shared bathroom) within a branded independent house. No studios or private bathrooms are listed. Shared spaces typically include a kitchen and living area, though exact floor plans should be requested directly.
Lease terms: minimum 4 months, maximum not specified in the data. The longer you stay, the more cost-effective it becomes, as moving costs and deposit fees are spread out. For stays of 10–12 months, you may be able to negotiate a slightly lower rate.
Availability is not shown for a specific date (the data field available_from is null). This likely means rooms can be occupied immediately or that availability cycles regularly. During peak seasons (June–September for September intake), rooms fill up quickly. Booking 2–3 months ahead is recommended.
Booking timing advice
Given the limited inventory (likely fewer than 20 rooms in a single building), early booking is advisable. For 2026/2027 academic year:
- If you need a room for September 2026: start looking in May or June, and aim to secure by July. July and August see the highest competition for central Barcelona rooms.
- If you need a room for January 2027: start in October or November. Many incoming second-semester students search at that time.
- Short stays (4–5 months): these are often available year-round, but supply is tighter in summer when many students extend their leases.
Because the price range is relatively narrow (€804–€976), the difference between lower and higher rates likely reflects room size or floor level. If you are flexible, ask about the cheapest available rooms — they may be smaller or face the interior courtyard, but still benefit from the same building and management.
FAQ
What are the nearest metro stations and how long does it take to reach major universities?
The residence is on C/ D’Aragó in Eixample. The closest metro is likely Passeig de Gràcia station (L2, L3, L4) or Urgell station (L1). Walking time to major university campuses: central campuses of the public universities are within 15–25 minutes by metro or bus. Exact commute depends on your faculty.
Can I pay the rent monthly, and are utilities included?
The price is quoted as monthly, and the deposit is €360. Based on standard student housing in Barcelona, utilities (electricity, water, gas) are often included in the rent, but you should confirm with the operator. Internet is listed as a tag, so it is likely included. Clarify the exact utilities coverage before signing.
Is the residence open to tourists or only students?
The property is listed on a student housing platform and is described as a “branded independent house”, which typically means it is marketed to students and young professionals. However, check with the operator regarding minimum lease and occupancy requirements. The 4-month minimum suggests it is not for short tourist stays.
