Overview & Location
Avenida De Portugal is a student residence located at 5, Latina, 28011 Madrid, Spain. Despite the city slug indicating Getafe, the official address places it within the Madrid city limits, in the Latina district. This area is a residential zone west of the city centre, well connected by public transport. The property is managed by Vera and Emilio, who receive consistent praise from past residents.
The residence offers non-ensuite rooms (shared bathroom) and branded independent houses. All contracts include bills (electricity, water, gas, internet) and maintenance support. A laundry facility is available on site. Minimum lease is 4 months, making it suitable for semester stays.
Who This Residence Suits
- Students seeking a fully-managed, move-in ready home. Every review highlights the cleanliness, brightness, and recent renovation of the apartments. The property appears to be well maintained.
- Those who value landlord responsiveness. Multiple reviewers specifically name Vera and Emilio as exceptionally kind and helpful. If you want a landlord who “goes above and beyond,” this property delivers.
- Students looking for a central yet quiet location. The Latina district is safe and central, close to public transport links to major universities. One reviewer calls the location “perfect” and “central and safe.”
- Budget-conscious students who want bills included. With an indicative monthly price range of €520–€720 (confirm with the operator), this is below the typical purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) prices in central Madrid, where one-bedroom studios often start above €800. The inclusive bills remove the stress of calculating separate utilities.
- Short-term stayers (4 months minimum). If you need accommodation for a semester or a study abroad term, the 4-month minimum lease is flexible.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Students who require a private ensuite bathroom. All units appear to be non-ensuite (shared bathroom). If you cannot share a bathroom, look for ensuite rooms or studios.
- Extremely price-sensitive students looking for the absolute cheapest option. The city of Madrid has a lowest indicative monthly price of €232 (often shared bedrooms or hostels). Avenida De Portugal, at €520 min, is more than double that. However, for a private room in a managed residence, €520 is competitive.
- Those needing a long-term contract (12 months or more). The minimum lease is 4 months; there is no mention of maximum lease length. Students wanting a full academic year (10–12 months) should confirm that the property can accommodate a longer stay.
- Students who must be in the exact city centre (Sol/Gran Vía). Latina is central but not the very heart. Check transport connections to your university; some might prefer a residence closer to campus.

Price & Value
- Indicative monthly rent: €520–€720 (confirm with the operator)

At the lower end (€520), Avenida De Portugal is positioned as a mid-range option. It is significantly above the city floor of €232, but offers a private room in a managed, reviewed property with inclusive bills. In the wider Madrid market, private rooms in shared flats average €400–€600 without bills; this residence bundles everything and adds professional management. For students who value peace of mind and a responsive landlord, the price is reasonable.
Room Types & Guidance
Two unit types are available:
- Non-ensuite rooms – bedrooms with shared bathroom and kitchen (likely). Standard for budget student housing.
- Branded independent houses – these may be entire apartments or houses managed under the same brand, possibly with more space or private facilities. Check the exact configuration with the operator.
Given the reviews mention “big, clean” apartments and “every comfort,” the rooms are likely spacious. If you are sharing, verify the number of housemates and bathroom ratio.
Booking Timing & Tips
- Available from: Not specified in the data. The property may be available year-round.
- Minimum lease: 4 months. Book at least 8–12 weeks before your intended move-in to secure availability.
- Peak season: For September intake (academic year start), book by May–June. For January intake, book by October–November.
- Deposit: €720 is due upfront. Prepare to pay at booking.
- Verification: Because reviews are uniformly positive and the rating is high (4.9), it’s a safe bet. Still, request a virtual tour or ask for photo updates since the data show only one image.
FAQ
Is this property suitable for postgraduate students or young professionals?
Yes. The building is managed for students but does not appear to restrict age. The location in Latina is residential and quiet; many postgraduates or young professionals live in similar flats. The 4-month minimum also suits short-term contracts. Confirm with the operator whether non-students are accepted.
Can I book a room for a single semester (5 months)?
Yes, the minimum lease is 4 months. A 5-month stay (e.g., September–January) fits. Ensure the operator offers durations that align with your academic calendar. Some properties require a full academic year; this one does not.
Are the bills truly inclusive, or are there caps?
The data lists “bills_included” as a tag. The reviews do not mention any extra costs. Typically, student residences include a reasonable usage cap (e.g., heating, electricity). Inquire about any limits on winter heating or excessive electricity use. None of the reviews indicate problems, but it’s wise to ask.
