The property operates on monthly contracts with a minimum lease of 5 months, and availability begins from 15 August 2026. Prices range from €845 to €1,655 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), with a deposit of €250.

Who is this residence for
Livensa Living Studios Madrid Alcobendas works best for students or young professionals who prefer the independence of a private studio and value modern, well-equipped facilities. The positive reviews highlight that the kitchens are well stocked and everything feels “modern and efficient.” Residents also mention that the reception staff (specifically Aurora, Daniel, and Raul) are “gentle, soft, kind and go out of their way to help everyone.” If you are someone who prioritises a clean, contemporary living space and responsive on-site management, this property could be a good fit.
The property’s amenities — gym, library, CCTV — make it suitable for residents who want study and fitness options within the building. The dual-occupancy option also appeals to couples or friends willing to share a studio to split costs, though you should confirm the additional fees and terms with the operator.
Because the minimum lease is five months, it suits semester-based students or those on short-term internships who need a fixed-term contract starting in August 2026. The location in Alcobendas places you near corporate offices and business parks, which may be convenient for interns or trainees placed in the northern Madrid area.
Who should look elsewhere
This residence is less ideal if you need to be near central Madrid or the city of Getafe (where the property’s city tag is assigned — note the address is in Alcobendas, a separate municipality about 18 km north of central Madrid and roughly 35 km from Getafe). The commute to Getafe would be long and impractical, so students enrolled at universities there should consider alternatives closer to campus.
The negative reviews on Google point to serious service issues. One reviewer paid €60 for what they considered a “standard studio” but found it “dirty and dusty” and felt the price was unjustified. Another reviewer states that the “customer service is horrible” and claims the “flexible” booking add-on is “a lie and fraudulent” — they could not cancel or reschedule even after paying extra. If you value strong cancellation / change policies or want to avoid the risk of poor cleaning upon arrival, you may want to think twice or clarify all terms in writing before booking.
The price range also puts these studios among the upper tier in the local market. For budget-conscious renters, the city of Getafe’s from-price is €232 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), which typically refers to a shared room in a multi-bedroom apartment. Even the lower end of €845 is significantly above that, and the top end (€1,655) is a considerable investment. Those who can find a shared apartment or a smaller studio in a less central area might pay less.
What residents actually say
Below are the three Google reviews supplied for this property, quoted verbatim:
MH (★★★★★): “This place is amazing with the facilities and kitchen and well equipped. Everything is so modern and efficient. The receptionist: Aurora, Daniel and Raul make this place exceptional. They are so gentle, soft, kind and go out of their way to help everyone. The only downside is that location may seem a little away from t”
Aurelie Losy (★☆☆☆☆): “Very disappointing apartment. The studio was dirty and dusty, clearly not up to expectations. I paid €60 for a standard studio, when that’s normally the price of a superior one, which is completely unjustified given the state of the accommodation. The most frustrating thing is the lack of consideration: after reporting”
Sodo (★☆☆☆☆): “The rooms are fine but the customer service is horrible and their ‘flexible’ bookings, which they make you pay extra for, are a lie and fraudulent. Even after paying extra for the ‘flexible’ booking I still could not reschedule or cancel my booking, and customer service was incredibly unhelpful and ignorant. I cannot r”
The reviews reveal a stark split. The positive experience centres on the physical condition of the studio and the helpful reception staff. The negative experiences focus on cleanliness upon move-in, pricing complaints, and severe dissatisfaction with the booking flexibility policy. If you book, it is advisable to request a pre-move-in photo inventory, confirm the flexible booking terms in writing, and inspect the studio thoroughly upon arrival.
Price positioning vs. Getafe market
According to available data, the city of Getafe (where this property is tagged) has a from-price of €232 per month across its 97 properties. This “from-price” likely represents the cheapest shared room or studio in the area. Livensa Living’s minimum of €845 is about 3.6 times higher, placing it firmly in the premium segment for Getafe. However, the actual address is in Alcobendas, a more affluent area north of Madrid, where average rents tend to be higher than in Getafe. The wide range (€845–€1,655) indicates that certain studios (e.g., larger, higher-floor, or those with extra amenities) cost significantly more. The €845 rate may correspond to a standard studio on a longer lease or an early-bird promotion, while the €1,655 could be for premium studios or shorter stays. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator.
Room type guidance
The property offers studios only. There is no shared apartment option. Studios come in different sizes or tiers: “standard” and “superior” (implied by the review mentioning paying €60 for a standard when “that’s normally the price of a superior one”). When enquiring, ask the operator to specify the exact size, floor, view, and included utilities for each price level. If you want a quieter room, request one away from common areas. The dual-occupancy tag means the operator allows two residents per studio, but you must ask about the additional rent per person and any restrictions.
Booking timing
Availability begins from 15 August 2026, which aligns well with the start of the European academic year (late August / September). Given the minimum lease of 5 months, you can cover the first semester or a full academic year if you extend. The property may have high demand for August arrivals, so it is wise to book early — but due to the reported customer service issues and the inflexible cancellation policy, you should thoroughly read the booking terms and consider securing travel insurance that covers study abroad cancellations. If you need a flexible arrangement, confirm in writing exactly what “flexible” means, as one reviewer claims it is fraudulent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move in during the 2026/2027 academic year?
Yes. The property lists availability from 15 August 2026, with a minimum lease of 5 months. That would cover the first term (August–January). If you need a contract extending into the second semester, ask the operator about renewals or longer lease options.
Is the deposit refundable?
The deposit is stated as €250. The refund policy is not detailed in the data. Typically, deposits are returned after a final inspection, but given the reported cleanliness complaints, it is wise to document the condition of the studio at check-in with photos and a signed inventory. Confirm the refund process and any deductions in your contract before signing.
Can I stay with a partner?
Yes, the property is tagged as allowing dual occupancy. This means two people can share a studio, but you should confirm the additional monthly fee (if any) and whether utilities are included. Some operators charge a supplement per extra occupant. Ask for this in writing.
