It’s always the same painful topic when arriving in a new town – “where shall I live?”. Barcelona is an expensive city and the quality of housing is sometimes not as you expect it. Going through a broker will cost you between 1 and 3 months’ rent as a fee. Renting from an agency will cost you a very high monthly rent. And the quality of housing might not always be good.

At least there is the website Loquo. This popular online classified ad market provides you with loads of offers for shared flats or entire homes. Many people share flats in Barcelona due to the high cost of living. I have even seen shared flats with more than 10 residents.

If you only want to stay a few days in Barcelona, jump over to the page for Hotels & Accommodation.

So far: good luck with your search!
