Overview and location
Livensa Living Madrid Getafe is a purpose-built student residence located at 4, 28904 Getafe, Madrid, Spain. It sits close to the local train station, giving residents direct access to Madrid city centre. The residence offers studio apartments and shared rooms, with a minimum lease of 5 months. Availability starts from 15 August 2026. The property has a Google rating of 4.2 based on 165 reviews.
The residence includes a gym, a study area and a game room. It is managed by an on-site team that handles reception, cleaning and food services.

Who this residence suits
This residence suits students who want a fully managed living experience with communal amenities within the building. The on-site gym, study area and game room mean you do not need to travel for fitness, quiet work or social downtime. If you prefer having meals prepared, the residence operates a cafeteria that residents praise. One guest review states: “The food is delicious.” That suggests the catering is a strong point.
It also suits Erasmus or exchange students who need a short-term stay (minimum 5 months) and want a supportive environment. The staff receive consistent positive feedback. Another review notes: “Staff amazing, returning customer w my second son using this residence. The Staff Patricia, Blanca, Manager Pedro and the kitchen staff are amazing, diligent and nice people! Great rooms!”
Finally, it suits students at the nearby university campus – the residence is described as “very close to the train station and to UC3M”. If your classes are in Getafe, the walking or short train commute is convenient.
Who this residence does not suit
This residence may not suit students on a very tight budget. The city’s cheapest student property starts at 232 EUR per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), while Livensa Living’s monthly price range is 573 to 1,431 EUR (indicative — confirm with the operator). That is significantly above the entry-level price. If you are looking for the lowest possible rent in Getafe, you would likely find a shared flat or a basic room elsewhere.
It also does not suit students who prefer complete independence in cooking and cleaning. While the residence has a cafeteria, studio apartments have a kitchenette, but shared rooms may not include full cooking facilities. The communal areas and cleaning services mean you share space with others. If you want a private house with no on-site management or fixed meal options, this may feel too structured.
Students who need a location closer to central Madrid may find Getafe slightly farther out. Although the train connection is good, daily travel to the city centre adds time. If your university is in the centre, consider a residence in Madrid proper.
What residents actually say
Residents consistently highlight the helpfulness and kindness of the staff. One guest wrote: “Truly an amazing student residence, I stayed from January to June for my Erasmus stay. The building itself is beautiful, well-equipped and a has a lot of amenities and services. The food is delicious. It is very close to the train station and to UC3M. But most of all, everyone on the Livensa Getafe Team is extremely ki…” (the review cuts off at “ki” but the sentiment is clearly positive).
Another reviewer: “Amazing experience! The staff at the cafeteria, reception and cleaning are all very kind and helpful.”
All three quoted reviews give 5 out of 5 stars. The common themes are friendly staff, good food, nice building and convenient location for the local university. No negative reviews were provided in the data, but the overall 4.2 rating from 165 reviews indicates that most residents are satisfied, though a small number may have had less positive experiences.
Price positioning in Getafe
Getafe’s lowest-priced student property is 232 EUR per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Livensa Living starts at 573 EUR, which is roughly 2.5 times higher. At the top end, its 1,431 EUR monthly price (indicative — confirm with the operator) is premium compared to the city’s average.
That said, the residence includes amenities such as a gym, study area, game room and catering. The deposit is 250 EUR, which is relatively low. When comparing costs, factor in that a cheaper shared room elsewhere may not include bills, cleaning or meals. Livensa Living’s price bundles these services. For students who value convenience and on-site facilities, the premium may be justified. Always confirm exact rates and inclusions with the operator before booking.
Room type guidance
Two room types are available:
-
Shared room: Usually the lower end of the price range (around 573 EUR per month, indicative). You share the room with one or more flatmates. Bathroom and living areas may be shared. This option suits students who are comfortable living with others and want the most affordable entry to the residence.
-
Studio: The higher end of the range (up to 1,431 EUR per month, indicative). A private unit with your own kitchen and bathroom. Best for students who value privacy and independence while still having access to communal facilities like the gym and game room.
If you are unsure, consider your budget and how much time you plan to spend in the room. For longer stays, a studio may feel more spacious and private. For short Erasmus terms, a shared room can be a social experience.
Booking timing
Availability starts from 15 August 2026. The minimum lease is 5 months, which covers a full semester or a half-year exchange. Because the residence is popular – as indicated by the positive reviews and returning customers – early booking is advisable. Many student residences in Getafe fill up quickly for the September intake.
If you intend to move in August 2026, begin your search and booking process several months in advance. The deposit of 250 EUR (indicative – confirm with the operator) is required to secure a room. Check with the operator whether the deposit is refundable and under which conditions.
