This review examines what the residence offers, who it suits, and what current residents say, based on verified data and real reviews.
Location and local area
The address is 14, Sants-Montjuïc, 08004 Barcelona, Spain. Sants-Montjuïc is a central district that includes the Sants railway station area and the Montjuïc hill. It is well connected by metro and bus to universities across the city. The University of Barcelona, Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya are all reachable by public transport.
The area has local shops, markets, and parks. Montjuïc offers green space and cultural venues, while the Sants neighbourhood has a more residential, local feel compared to the city centre.
Price positioning and value
Barcelona’s student housing market has a citywide from-price of €250 per month (for shared accommodation). Poeta Cabanyes 14 2-2 Derecho’s minimum rent of €699 is well above that baseline. This reflects that it offers a managed, branded property with services rather than a bare room.
The monthly range of €699 to €1,038 (indicative — confirm with the operator) places it in the mid-to-upper tier for student housing in Barcelona. The price varies by room size, floor level, and possibly length of stay. A deposit of €360 is required.
Compared to the city’s 189 student properties, this residence is priced above the median. You are paying for a professional coliving setup with included utilities and weekly cleaning, rather than arranging these yourself.
Unit types and room guidance
All rooms are non-ensuite. This means you share a bathroom and kitchen with other residents. The property is classified as a branded independent house — a private company manages the building and provides services.
Key features include:
- Bills included in the rent (electricity, water, gas, internet)
- Elevator in the building
- Shared rooftop terrace
- Minimum lease of 4 months
Because rooms are non-ensuite, this property suits students who are comfortable sharing facilities. If you require a private bathroom, you would need to look at studio or ensuite properties, which typically cost more.
The shared rooftop is a communal amenity that can be useful for socialising or studying outside.
Who this residence suits
Based on the price, location, and setup, Poeta Cabanyes 14 2-2 Derecho is suitable for:
- Students on exchange or short-term courses – with a 4-month minimum lease, it fits semester stays.
- Students who want bills included – the all-inclusive pricing removes the hassle of setting up utilities.
- Students who prioritise service and support – the property is managed by a coliving agency that handles maintenance, cleaning, and tenant relations.
- Students studying at multiple universities – the central location in Sants-Montjuïc gives reasonable access to all major universities in Barcelona.
Who this residence may not suit
The property may not be ideal for:
- Budget-conscious students – the minimum rent of €699 is significantly higher than the city’s from-price of €250. If you need the cheapest possible option, shared flats in other areas may be more affordable.
- Students who want a private bathroom – all rooms are non-ensuite, so you will share a bathroom.
- Students who need long-term stability beyond a year – the minimum lease is 4 months, but longer stays are possible. There is no mention of a maximum lease term in the data.
- Students who prefer independent living without an agency – some people prefer dealing directly with a landlord rather than a management company.
What residents actually say
The property has 1,206 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.3. Three reviews provide a useful range of experiences:
Positive review – Viên Đặng Ngọc (rating: 4)
“Analex was very helpful and responsive during the whole process. She helped me find the best room options within my budget and made everything clear and smooth. I really appreciate her support.”
This review highlights that the booking process and customer service can be positive. The tenant found the agent helpful in selecting a room within budget.
Positive review – Bulgun Chimidova (rating: 5)
“Best experience I’ve had with a coliving agency. The service was fast and efficient. Juan was incredibly helpful in finding a room that matched all my requirements. He was responsive and friendly throughout, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Weekly cleaning is a great bonus, and the customer support”
This reviewer emphasises speed, efficiency, and the weekly cleaning service. The mention of “coliving agency” confirms the nature of the property.
Negative review – Illana Skurzak (rating: 1)
“My experience has been very disappointing. They are extremely quick to send reminders if your rent payment is even one day late, but when tenants need support, the level of responsiveness is very different. During my stay, we spent 10 days without internet access and several days without hot water. These were not minor”
This is a serious complaint. The tenant experienced:
- 10 days without internet
- Several days without hot water
- Slow response from the management when reporting problems
While one negative review does not define the property, it points to potential gaps in maintenance responsiveness. The 4.3 average rating suggests most tenants had better experiences, but this review is worth considering if reliable internet and hot water are essential for you.
Booking timing and availability
The property is currently tagged as “not_available” — this means no rooms are vacant now. For the 2026-2027 academic year, availability typically opens several months before the semester starts.
For September 2026 intake, rooms often become available from March to June. For January 2027, availability may open around October 2026.
Given that Barcelona has 189 student properties listed from a from-price of €250, demand is high for the lower-priced options. Poeta Cabanyes 14 2-2 Derecho’s mid-to-upper pricing may mean it stays available slightly longer than budget options, but coliving units in central districts still fill up.
