Accommodation in Barcelona

Home Stay

It is telling that most of our host families have worked with us since the beginning. The families know from experience what the role of a host is. Accommodation in a host family allows you to get the maximum out of your course. Nowhere else will you so directly experience real Spanish life. Nothing could be better to help you improve your language skills. The word “family’” should not be taken too literally because your family could also be a single parent who takes in students because he or she enjoys the company. You can choose from a room with breakfast, half board (breakfast and a cooked meal in the afternoon at about two o’clock or a light dinner at ten) or full board (breakfast and two meals). Remember, that your hosts’ eating habits may differ from your own. Don’t be surprised that most families live in flats rather than houses. You will be given your own keys so you can come and go as you please and you will be able to receive phone calls.

Shared student flat

You share a student flat with four or five other students. We always do our best to accommodate you in a student flat with different nationalities. However, the common language typically becomes English. We suggest that you reach an agreement with one another to speak as much Spanish as possible. Although the student flats are not luxurious, they are equipped with all the basic facilities (a bed, table, chair and a wardrobe). Each student flat has a living room, a television, a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine and an iron. In student flats there are no telephones available.
You can make your phone calls from one of the many public phone boxes. You share the kitchen and the bathroom and, together, keep the house clean. Shared areas are professionally cleaned once a week.
