Who is Comte Borrell 1 best suited for?
This residence works well for small groups of students or friends who want to share a full apartment rather than a single room. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, it suits people who already know each other and prefer communal living in a central Barcelona location. The property is classified as a branded independent house with non-ensuite rooms, meaning each bedroom has its own space while bathrooms and common areas are shared within the unit. Because the minimum lease is four months, it is practical for semester stays or short academic programs. The inclusion of bills (electricity, water, gas, Wi-Fi) and laundry facilities simplifies budgeting — no separate utility setup is needed. The area, L’Eixample, is well-connected by metro and close to shops, cafes, and some university campuses.
Who might want to look elsewhere
Solo students or travellers looking for a studio or an ensuite room will likely find this property unsuitable, since all rooms are non-ensuite and the unit is designed for a group. Those who prefer a quieter, more private living arrangement — or who do not have a pre-formed group — may find it inconvenient to fill the entire apartment with strangers. The property is currently marked as not available for new bookings, so anyone needing immediate housing should check other options. Additionally, the deposit of 655 EUR (indicative — confirm with the operator) may be higher than some competitors, and the exact monthly rent is not listed in the public data, requiring direct inquiry. Budget-conscious students seeking the city’s lowest price point (from 250 EUR per month for a room in shared flats) will likely find this property more expensive, given its larger apartment configuration.
What residents say about their stay
Google reviews give the property an impressive 4.9 out of 5 from 271 reviews. Residents consistently highlight the responsiveness of the management team and the quality of the apartment.
“We had a fantastic stay at Stay Together Barcelona Apartments. From the moment of booking, the communication was incredible from Carla. We arrived to Barcelona and I was amazed at how the apartment was even better than the pictures showed! Very very clean, comfortable beds, and we enjoyed the sitting area and kitchen.” – Kathleen Bass
“All the reviews have proven to be true. Carla and Francesco were very responsive from our consideration phase all the way to the end of the stay. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. The apartment had everything we needed and was spotless. The metro is literally seconds away, directly across…” – Alice Chiu

Themes from these quotes include cleanliness, comfort, helpful staff, and excellent metro access. The roof terrace is also mentioned as a bonus. Note that the property is branded under “Stay Together Barcelona Apartments” — residents refer to this name, while the housing platform listing uses “Comte Borrell 1.”
Price positioning in Barcelona’s student housing market
Barcelona’s student housing options on this platform start from 250 EUR per month for a room in a shared apartment. However, Comte Borrell 1 does not display a minimum or maximum monthly rent in its public data — only a deposit of 655 EUR is shown (indicative — confirm with the operator). Based on its configuration as a four-bedroom independent house with two bathrooms, bills included, and a central location, the total rent for the entire apartment is likely to be significantly above the city’s from-price for an individual room. For comparison, a room in a similar shared flat in L’Eixample often ranges from 400 to 700 EUR per month, but this property may also be let as a whole unit at a single price. Because no price is listed, prospective tenants should contact the operator directly to obtain a monthly figure. The deposit provides a rough reference — it is typically one month’s rent or a part thereof.
Room type and configuration
The property offers two unit types: non-ensuite and branded independent house. In practice, this means a single apartment containing four separate bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a dining area. Each bedroom is private but shares facilities. The unit appears to be rented as a whole rather than per room, given that reviews mention a group of four bedrooms. There is no studio or ensuite option. Students who need their own bathroom or a self-contained studio should look elsewhere. The available amenities include Wi-Fi, bills included, and laundry facilities (likely in-unit or on-site). The roof terrace is accessible as per resident feedback.
When to book
The property is currently listed with the tag “not_available”, which suggests it is not accepting new reservations at the time of data collection (mid-2026). For stays planned in 2026 or 2027, students should check availability well in advance — at least three to four months before the intended move-in date, especially if targeting the September intake when Barcelona’s student demand peaks. Since the minimum lease is only four months, it may become available again if current occupants are approaching the end of their stay. The best strategy is to monitor the listing or contact the operator directly using the on-site assistant on the platform page.
