Mid-term rentals in Barcelona

Barcelona for a season, with the door already open.

Four buildings, four ways to live the city

We run whole buildings, not scattered flats. That means a caretaker you know, our own maintenance team, and neighbours in the same situation as you.

Eixample

5 min walk to Sants station

Next to Sants, on the grid

Wide streets and cut corners, a market downstairs and Sants station nearby: high-speed rail, local trains and metro without leaving the neighbourhood. The practical choice if you travel in and out of Barcelona often.

  • Studios and one- to three-bedroom flats
  • Lift, and balconies onto the street or the inner courtyard
  • Metro L1, L3, L5 and local trains minutes away

Ciutat Vella

El Raval

2 min walk to La Rambla

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most before booking.

Can't find your answer?

Write to us
What is a seasonal rental?

A contract for a stay with an end date and a temporary reason: studies, work, a relocation or a move in progress. It can't be your permanent home, which is why we'll ask you to tell us the reason for your stay.

What does the monthly payment include?

The rent and a utilities allowance, which covers consumption up to a limit. If actual use goes over it, we let you know and the difference is paid.

How much is the deposit and when is it returned?

The statutory deposit for a seasonal rental in Spain is two months' rent. It is returned about 30 days after you move out, the time needed to settle the utilities for the final period.

Are pets allowed?

Yes, if you tell us beforehand. The permission is added to the contract as an annex.

Is there parking?

No. None of the flats come with a parking space.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer, within the first five days of each month.

Can I extend my stay?

As a rule, contracts are not extended. If you'd like to stay longer, ask us well in advance and we'll see what we can do.

What if I need to leave early?

Let us know as soon as you can, with at least 30 days' notice. We need that time to organise your move-out and the final settlement.
