Overview and Location
Carrer Del Cinca 4 Sant Andreu 3o sits in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona, a residential area about 3 km north of the city centre. The address is 4, Sant Andreu, 08030 Barcelona. Sant Andreu is well connected by metro (Line 1, Sant Andreu station) and local buses, providing access to the main university campuses, the city centre, and the popular beachfront areas. The neighbourhood itself has supermarkets, cafés, and small parks, which makes daily errands straightforward.
This property is categorised as a branded independent house and also offers non-ensuite rooms. That means it is operated by a professional housing provider but located in a standalone building rather than a large residence hall. Given the location, it would suit students who study at any of the major universities in Barcelona, though the commute times vary depending on which campus you need to reach.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Does Not)
Suits: Students who value community. The three reviews (quoted in full below) consistently highlight the social atmosphere, organised activities, and communal facilities. Residents mention meeting people from around the world, a shared kitchen, a pool, a game area, and friendly staff. If you are someone who likes to cook with friends, relax by a pool after class, or join weekly events, this place is designed for that. It is also suitable if you prefer a managed property with a cleaning service included.
Does not suit: Students who need a private bathroom (ensuite). The “non_ensuite” tag means you share bathroom facilities with other residents. If privacy in the bathroom is a non-negotiable, you will need to look for ensuite rooms, which are usually more expensive. The price range of €515–€651 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator) is above Barcelona’s city-wide from-price of €250 (the cheapest available student room in the city, often a shared flat with limited facilities). So budget-conscious students who are willing to compromise on space and facilities might find cheaper alternatives. Additionally, students who want absolute quiet or a very independent living style (minimal interaction) may feel the strong community focus is not for them.

Price Positioning and Room Types
Price comparison: Barcelona’s student housing market has a broad price range. The city from-price is €250 per month, but that figure usually reflects a shared room or a very basic single room in a private apartment with few extras. At €515–€651 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), this residence sits in the mid-to-upper range. For comparison, many private student residences in Barcelona with similar facilities (pool, cleaning, events) charge between €550 and €800. So this property is at the lower end of that managed-residence segment.
Room types:
- Non-ensuite – Shared bathroom with other residents. Suitable if you are okay with that arrangement and want to keep costs lower.
- Branded independent house – This indicates the property is run by a professional operator (Liv Student is the brand mentioned in reviews) but in a standalone house, not a large tower. Common areas (kitchen, living room, terrace) are shared.
Lease length: Minimum 2 months. That is shorter than typical academic-year contracts, which can be 9–12 months, offering flexibility for exchange students or those on shorter programmes.
Booking Timing
The listing currently carries a “not_available” tag (data source indicates the unit is not available now). In general, for student housing in Barcelona with a strong community reputation, rooms are often booked 3–6 months before the intended move-in. For a September start, for example, serious searching usually begins in March–May. Because this residence has limited rooms (it is a house, not a large residence), availability can become scarce quickly. If you are considering a similar property, start your search early and check with the operator directly for upcoming availability.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
H3: Is this residence suitable for students who prefer privacy?
No, not for those who want a private bathroom. The rooms are non-ensuite (shared bathrooms). The strong community focus also means common spaces are heavily used, and weekly activities encourage interaction. If you need quiet, private living, consider an ensuite studio or a solo apartment (which will cost more).
H3: How does the price compare to other student housing in Barcelona?
At €515–€651 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), this is above Barcelona’s minimum of €250 (which typically gets you a very basic room in a shared flat with no cleaning or amenities). For a professionally managed residence with cleaning, a pool, a communal kitchen, and organised events, this price is competitive — many similar residences start at €600 or more. So it offers decent value for the facilities provided.
H3: What is included in the rent?
Based on the property tags (“Cleaning service”, “Fully equipped kitchen”, “Terrace”), the rent covers a cleaning service (frequency unknown — confirm with operator), use of a fully equipped communal kitchen, and access to a terrace. The reviews also mention a pool and game area, but those may be shared across multiple buildings. Utility costs are not specified — you will need to ask the operator whether bills (electricity, water, internet) are included or extra.
