Location and Overview
Canvas Barcelona Sabadell Llac is a purpose-built student residence located at 26, 08208 Sabadell, on the outskirts of Barcelona. It sits close to the campus of Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), making it a convenient choice for students attending that university. The property offers studio and two-bedroom (2b) units, with a monthly rent ranging from €754 to €1,080 (indicative — confirm with the operator). A deposit of €200 is required at move-in.
The residence opened around September 2025, according to one resident’s review, and has since built a reputation for attentive staff and a supportive environment. It features on-site parking, a dedicated study area, and a gym — amenities that are less common in older student housing options.
Price Positioning vs. Barcelona’s From-Price
Barcelona’s student housing market includes 189 listings on this platform, with prices starting from €250 per month for shared rooms or basic studios in less central areas. Canvas Barcelona Sabadell Llac’s minimum price of €754 is significantly above that floor. However, the residence is not in central Barcelona; it is in Sabadell, a satellite town about 25 minutes by train from the city centre. For students who need to be at UAB (which is itself on the outskirts), the location is practical and often cheaper than central Barcelona options of similar standard.
The €754–€1,080 range includes higher-end units (likely larger studios or two-bedroom apartments) and the premium of having a gym, study area, and parking. Compared to other UAB-adjacent student residences, this property sits in the mid-to-upper segment. For context, many shared apartments in Sabadell can be found for €350–€500 per room, but they typically lack the communal facilities and support services that Canvas provides.
Room Type Guidance
The property offers two unit types:
- Studio: A self-contained unit ideal for single occupancy or couples. At the lower end of the price range (€754), you get a private kitchen and bathroom. Best for students who value privacy and direct access to amenities.
- Two-bedroom (2b): Shared between two tenants. The maximum price of €1,080 likely reflects this type — splitting it roughly equals €540 per person, making it more affordable than a solo studio. Good for friends or students who prefer to share common space.
Min lease term is 5 months, which covers a standard academic semester or most of a full academic year (September to June). No earlier availability date is specified, so you should check directly with the operator.

“I’ve been living in Yugo for an year now as a student, and it’s been one of the best experience that I had. Firstly, the staff are always looking to help you resolve an any issue that you may encounter when you live here. If it’s not proper cleaning or etc, it’s get fixed very quick. Also, they do organize many events”

“I have been staying in Yugo, Sabadell Dell Llac as UAB student since the month of September, 2025 from the time it was opened. Almost from the time that the residence were fully opened to everyone. The host and stuff of it were very helpful. I haven’t really expected that as my expectations from the first time were a b”

“Super nice staff! helpful and supportive reception, well organized activities, very safe environment and extremely sweet cleaning ladies! had a stress free year! :)”
Note: The reviews refer to “Yugo” – this appears to be the previous branding or a colloquial name for the residence. The current official name is Canvas Barcelona Sabadell Llac. The positive feedback about events, cleaning, and safety is consistent across all three.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
Suitable for:
- UAB students who want to live near campus without the hassle of commuting from central Barcelona.
- Students who value on-site amenities: gym, study area, and parking (especially if you have a car or bicycle).
- International students looking for a structured, safe environment with organised social activities.
- Those who prefer an all-inclusive package: the rent likely covers utilities and internet (confirm with operator), simplifying budgeting.
Less suitable for:
- Students attending central universities (University of Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) – the daily commute to Plaça Catalunya can take 45–60 minutes each way.
- Budget-conscious students who can find cheaper shared flats in Sabadell or Barcelona (rooms from €250–€400) – Canvas commands a premium for its services.
- Students who want flexible short-term stays under 5 months – the minimum lease is 5 months.
Booking Timing Guidance
The residence opened in September 2025, and based on the review by Tagir Shafigullin, demand appears strong. For a September 2026 move-in, begin checking availability as early as March or April 2026. Many student residences in Barcelona release rooms 4–6 months ahead.
If you need parking or a specific unit type (e.g., a two-bedroom with a friend), book earlier to secure your preferred room. The €200 deposit is relatively low, reducing the upfront cost. Because the property is relatively new, online reviews are limited – visiting in person or requesting a virtual tour is advisable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I live here if I study at a different university?
Yes, the residence does not restrict enrolment to UAB only. However, the location in Sabadell is most convenient for UAB. Students at other universities should factor in travel time (by train or bus) to their campus.
What is included in the monthly rent? Are utilities and internet included?
The listing does not specify utility inclusion. Based on typical student residence contracts in Spain, utilities (electricity, water, gas) and internet are often included in the rent, but you must confirm with the operator. The deposit of €200 is refundable, subject to the terms of your lease.
Is there a curfew or any guest policy?
No information about curfews or guest policies was provided. The review mentions a “very safe environment” and 24/7 reception. Contact the operator to ask about visiting hours and overnight guest rules.
