BARCELONA:
Student residences are a great accommodation option. Living in close proximity to other students helps students adapt to both the city and your new lifestyle. It’s a great opportunity for them to meet people from different backgrounds without having to worry about household chores. Most apartments in Barcelona are rented through an agency (inmobiliaria), however renting from the owner generally saves tenants a lot of money in agency fees. Both agencies and owners usually require the first month’s rent plus a deposit in advance. Most agencies also charge an additional month’s rent as their fee. Other deposits may also be required, but never more than three months’ rent.
