Do you know how to rent a flat in Barcelona ?
The new course is getting closer and there comes the time to rent a flat in Barcelona, to look for flats, be sure that they are to your liking and they have all the comforts. Let us ask you: have you have thought about living in a student residence? No? Today we will reveal what is never taken into account when you rent a flat, and the reasons why the student residence is a very good choice.
- The installation: the flat looks beautiful and you have been told that it has been recently renovated but… has the plumbing also been renovated? Will the heating work? Is there enough hot water? It is a mystery that you will only resolve when you are already living there, having decided to rent a flat in Barcelona, and nobody will have told you.
- Neighbours: residential neighbourhoods are just that, neighbourhoods intended for residence and not for leisure, and sometimes (almost always) young people don’t go to sleep early, and less when the semester is finished; so it is sure that more than one night you are going to receive complaints from neighbours to keep the noise down.
- The repairman: the person that the estate agent who has rented you the flat sends you so you can get fixed the blinds that have fallen, or the heating or boiler; and forces you to be at home whether you like it or not, so that day you are going to miss classes.
Living in a rented flat is not comfortable and it can lead to unpleasant surprises. It is not so easy to rent a flat in Barcelona. Conversely, a student residence offers you all comforts for a single monthly payment, where everything is included and you can enjoy some common areas in addition to your room. And, best of all, is that you don’t have to worry about anything, just your studies and enjoying being with your new friends. Get to know The Lofttown, the brand-new residence in Barcelona most different from the rest: all new and eco-friendly philosophy. Discover us.

The two tips that you must follow if it is your first year in a university residence Barcelona
Your life will change completely; you will leave behind your family home to stay at a new location in a university residence Barcelona that in no time at all will become your small refuge. Thousands of sensations overwhelm you: nerves, dreams, fears of finding yourself alone, a mix of all of these but the balance is very positive and you feel that you like it, right? Follow these two tips and feel safe and happy from the first day.
TIP NUMBER 1
Lots of students like you are in your same situation, so let’s go! All you should worry about is the experience, live it! Leave behind all the fears that come up to distract us. Just savor positive emotions that the new life brings to you. And you’ll see how everything flows and everything works out great. Because between study and study you’ll find dinner with new friends, meals, travel, parties, every day luxuries like going to the cinema or theatre… do not miss any plan. Say yes to everything and enjoy the new situation. Our university residence Barcelona will help you to make friends and build your new home faster.
TIP NUMBER 2
Relax and unwind. The first few days tend to be stressful, so our second great tip to successfully face this new stage is to relax. You will love your new college life but at the beginning it is normal to get nerves because it is very different from everything so far.
These two simple tips will help you adapt in a few days. You just have to relax and join everything to meet people 😉 also, you know, in The Lofttown, we are at your side for everything. You are not alone!
