The first tip wold be to really consider the impact you bring to Barcelona when coming from a country with high salaries. 700€ for a room is outrageous considering that the average salary is arround 1100€. Local people is being forced to leave in big part because the competition you bring. Be aware than in most of the "recomended" neighborhoods you will have locals struggling to pay the rent who won't be very welcoming to expats.
If you live and work there for more than a year, you can't afford those flat prices - unless you are paid a cushy salary. "Normal locals" are disappearing from the city.
I bumped into this video, don’t know why. Living here for 7 years and although I don’t know nowadays how much rooms cost, I can say that renting a studio/1 bedroom apartment start at 800€. If you want something decent, and don’t have too high expectations either, I would say with 1200€ you might be able to find something. These prices will different the more you go out of Barcelona. 1hr away in Terassa or Rubi with 900€ you can find 2bedroom flat in a new or renovated building. Just a little perspective.
Please please please at least BARGAIN the price bc since yall digital nomads with higher salaries are coming here, no natives are able to find housing.
I agree with the neighborhoods.. where can I find 1-2 month rentals? should I book a place for 6 months? I'm sure AirBNB is probably not ideal for short term rental.
You might want to consider as good neighborhoods some areas of Nou Barris and the whole Sant Andreu, they are well communicated like 20 min by metro to the center. Fabra i Puig, Llucmajor, Sant Andreu…😊
Yes because the people living in the apartment have to be on the lease unless previously discussed with the landlord but most don’t want you renting out rooms

Any area you recommend around Barcelona ,I will be working in Barcelona but no way I can afford 700£ with my low internship salary .
RUclips is really lacking “apartment hunting” videos in Europe. There are a million such videos for NYC.
We are gatekeeping bc yall are raising the prices for locals. Hope that helps

Amazing video thank you
The WhatsApp group is so elusive 😂
I would take Sant Gervasi over Gracia and Gracia over Sant Antoni.
Everything after Diagonal and closer to mountains is better.

I want to rent a House for 5 years could you help me how to find rental house
Really looking into relocating to Barcelona. This is so helpful! Thanks Christina!
If I rent a whole apartment, does the agency/owner can still regulate the number of persons going to live just inside?
Yes because the people living in the apartment have to be on the lease unless previously discussed with the landlord but most don’t want you renting out rooms
finding an apartment in barcelona it's a nightmare because of so many digital nomads so....👋
