Carrer de Santa Peronella 13 2º: Residence Overview
This property is located at 13, 2o, in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona. It offers non-ensuite rooms and is categorised as a branded independent house. Monthly rent ranges from €882 to €893 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The minimum lease is two months. The residence has an elevator, electronic key access, and does not allow pets. On Google, it holds a rating of 4.0 out of 5 based on 510 reviews.
Who This Residence Suits (or Does Not Suit)
Suits:
- Students or young professionals who prioritise a structured environment with clear rules and on-site staff. The residence appears to have a managed operation, which may appeal to those new to Barcelona or looking for a hassle-free setup.
- Individuals comfortable with sharing a room. The non-ensuite units are typically designed for two occupants, so if you are open to a roommate arrangement, the price per person becomes more manageable (around €441–€447 per month, indicative).
- Those who value outdoor space and views. One reviewer specifically praised the outdoor territory and vistas.
- Short-term stays (minimum two months) are possible, making it an option for exchange students or summer programme participants.
Does not suit:
- Anyone seeking a private studio or ensuite bathroom. All room types here are non-ensuite, meaning bathroom and possibly kitchen facilities are shared.
- People who strongly prefer living alone. According to a resident review, you cannot choose to occupy a double room by yourself — the operator assigns two people per room.
- Individuals who want a loose set of house rules. The same reviewer described many rules as “stupid” and noted that guests are not allowed after 11 pm, with staff coming to enforce it.
- Those on a tight budget. Barcelona’s city-wide from-price for student housing is €250 per month (indicative). At roughly three to three-and-a-half times that, this property sits in the mid-to-upper range.
- Long-distance commuters. While not explicitly stated, the property is in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, which is relatively upscale and a bit removed from the city centre and main university clusters. One review mentioned relying on bus and a shuttle service (YeGo) to cover the distance.
What Residents Actually Say
Two of the three Google reviews offer contrasting experiences. The critical perspective comes from a tenant who stayed for a full year:
“I stayed at this residence for a year and it was really bad in every aspect. The rooms are extremely small for 2 people and you do not have an option to stay alone. Too many rules to follow and they are stupid rules also. You can not visit your friends in the residence after 11 pm they will come to the room and kick ev” — Bartu Kucukkinaci (rating 1)
This highlights that the property enforces strict policies and that double-occupancy rooms are mandatory, which might feel cramped. The review is cut off, but the frustration with guest restrictions is clear.
A short-term visitor offered a balanced take:
“Just stayed a night as a tourist. Buffet is incredible, fabulous! Rooms are clean and decent nothing to exaggerate. I would say rooms 4 star (due to shower was not going well), cleanliness 5 star and buffet is 5 star. Thus i gave 5 star.” — Teoman Orcun T. (rating 5)
The positive points — cleanliness, buffet — apply to hotel-style amenities, which may not reflect the long-stay experience. Note that this review mentions a buffet, which suggests the residence might include meal options. For long-term residents, the shower issue (described as “not going well”) is a practical concern.
A third review (Tomass Ansons, rating 4) praised staff, service, outdoor area and views while noting the distance. That review included exclamation marks; the overall sentiment is largely positive but conditional on transport.
Price Positioning in Barcelona
The city’s lowest-priced student accommodation starts at €250 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). With 189 properties currently listed in Barcelona, the average price range is broad. At €882–€893, this residence is well above the entry level. For comparison, a standard non-ensuite room in Barcelona typically falls between €450 and €700. The premium here likely reflects the managed residence format (with reception, cleaning services, and possibly meals) and the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi location, which is a quieter residential area with higher rents.
If you share a double room, your effective cost halves to about €441–€447 per person — closer to the market average for a shared room. However, you are still paying for the entire room setup, so evaluate whether the mandatory roommate and rules are worth the price.
Room Type Guidance
The property lists two unit types: “non_ensuite” and “branded_independent_house”. In practice, both refer to rooms that do not include a private bathroom. “Branded independent house” typically means the residence is operated by a known provider under a specific brand, but it still falls under the non-ensuite category — shared facilities are standard.
Based on the reviews, the rooms are designed for two people. You cannot request a single-occupancy arrangement. If you are booking as a pair (e.g., with a friend), this could work well. Solo tenants will be paired with a stranger, which may reduce privacy.
Before booking, ask the operator about:
- Exact room dimensions and layout
- Bathroom-to-resident ratio
- Whether the kitchen is shared or if meals are included (the buffet comment suggests a dining option)
- Laundry facilities and common areas
Booking Timing and Availability
The property is currently tagged as “not_available”, meaning no rooms are listed for occupancy as of the data date (2026-07). This could indicate that all units are filled for the 2026-2027 academic year, or that the operator has paused listings.
For a residence that enforces fixed rules and has a specific brand operation, supply tends to be limited. If you are targeting a September 2026 move-in, searching between February and May 2026 is common for Barcelona. Given the premium price and structured environment, this property may appeal more to early birds or those who have a backup option.
If availability opens again, note the minimum lease of two months — suitable for semester programmes or summer stays. Also be aware of the deposit (not specified in the data — confirm with the operator).
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: Is it possible to live alone in this residence?
Based on a resident’s review, no. The rooms are designated for two occupants and the operator does not allow single occupancy at the same price. If you require a private room, consider looking at studios or ensuite units elsewhere in Barcelona.
H3: How does the price compare to other student housing in Barcelona?
The monthly rent of €882–€893 (indicative) is roughly 3.5 times the city’s lowest-priced option of €250. For a non-ensuite room, it is above the typical mid-range of €450–€700. The higher cost likely reflects the residence’s amenities, location in a more expensive district, and managed services. Sharing the room halves the per-person cost to about €441–€447, which is closer to the market average for a shared unit.
H3: When should I book if I want to stay here for the 2026-2027 academic year?
The property is currently marked as not available. If listings reopen, aim to book 4–6 months before your intended move-in. For a September 2026 start, that means searching in early 2026. Since availability is limited and the residence has a specific brand, early action is recommended. Always confirm live availability with the operator.
