Rent a long term flat in Barcelona

There is a huge array of flats to rent in Barcelona for long term stays. In general, long-term rentals are considered to be 1 to 5 years and short-term for less than a year. Barcelona-Home not only offers holiday apartments for days or weeks but also great flats for monthly and yearly rentals. It is important to take into consideration the following points so that you can find your ideal accommodation in Barcelona to suit your specific needs.

Everyone is different and look for different things in an apartment so it is a good idea to thoroughly think about what you would like in a flat before you start your search. Think about the number of rooms you are going to need which will depend on the number of people in your group. Also think about where you would like to live and the type of area. Would you prefer to be in the thick of it with lots of bars and restaurants surrounding you? Or would you prefer a quieter, residential area to relax in after a long day at work?


When considering the apartment itself, look closely at the facilities it offers. Depending on the time of year make sure it has air conditioning and/or heating. Believe it or not, it can get cold in the winter. Make sure you visit the flat beforehand to see how it is, checking any potential problems such as the hot water etc. Also get a feel for the area by walking around and take a note of the nearest supermarket(s) and where the nearest metro and bus stops are located. Every apartment is different in regards to the rates of rent and deposit. Check if utilities are included in the rental price and the amount of the deposit. The deposit is usually one or two months rent. If you are securing a flat in your name then the landlord may also ask you to place 6 months rent into an Aval account which is then paid on completing the contract. This acts as a bank guarantee. Again, each landlord may ask for a different amount.

If you are renting for a year or more it may be possible to negotiate the price down. Don’t be hesitant in doing this as you have nothing to lose and it can save you quite a bit in the long run!

On planning your stay in Barcelona for a long period you want to make the most of your stay and enjoy it. Finding a great flat therefore is essential. Barcelona-Home offers comfortable flats to suit all budgets
