Overview of the property
Entenca is a student housing option located at 83, L’Eixample, 08015 Barcelona, Spain. It offers non-ensuite rooms (shared bathroom/kitchen) and what the listing describes as a “branded independent house” – essentially a managed shared flat with a standardised setup. The property currently lists monthly rents between €605 and €680. These figures are indicative — confirm with the operator.
The apartment building sits in the Eixample district, a central neighbourhood known for its grid layout, wide streets, and proximity to many of Barcelona’s universities. The nearest metro stops and bus lines connect to the University of Barcelona, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, all within a reasonable commute.
Key features include laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and bills included in the rent. The property has been flagged with a “not_available” tag on its listing, which likely means that the specific unit or building is currently not accepting new bookings – this may change when new inventory opens. Always check directly for current availability.
Who is this residence suited for? Who may want to look elsewhere?
Suited for:
- Students or young professionals who prefer a well-maintained, shared apartment in a central location. The reviews highlight cleanliness and straightforward management.
- People who value having bills included (electricity, water, gas, internet) without having to set up contracts themselves.
- Those who can commit to a minimum lease of 4 months. This is common for semester-based students or short-term interns.
- Occupants who are comfortable with a non-ensuite room – sharing a bathroom and kitchen with housemates.
May not suit:
- Anyone looking for a private studio or ensuite bathroom. The property does not offer these unit types.
- Budget-conscious searchers: with a starting price of €605, Entenca is well above the city’s cheapest student accommodation options, which can begin around €250 per month for a basic room in a shared flat further from the centre.
- People who need immediate move-in or very short stays (under 4 months). The minimum lease length may rule out some exchange students or travellers.
- Those who prefer newly built, purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) with gyms, study rooms, and 24/7 reception. Entenca appears to be a converted apartment, not a large PBSA complex.
What residents actually say
Three Google reviews (all rated 5 out of 5) give a clear picture of the resident experience. Here are the full verbatim texts:
“Very clean and well kept apartments. The moving in process is very straightforward and makes it easy and stress free. The maintenance of the flats once you’ve moved in is on point. Julien has been very helpful through all of it. I highly recommend Llogo, thanks a lot!” — barbara brett gastrin
“I had a really great experience living in this shared apartment in Barcelona. The house was newly renovated, super cozy, and located in a really nice area that made everyday life easy and enjoyable. The apartment was comfortable and well maintained, so it honestly felt like home pretty quickly. My housemates were also ” — fotis st (review truncated in the original data)

Note: The original data showed only 5-star reviews from 165 total Google reviews. With an aggregate rating of 4.8, the overall satisfaction level is very high, but the sample of written reviews is small. No negative reviews were provided.
Price position relative to the city’s average
Barcelona’s student housing market is diverse. The city’s from-price (the cheapest advertised student room) is around €250 per month. That figure typically represents a basic single room in a shared apartment far from the centre, often with no bills included and a longer commute.
Entenca’s starting price of €605 is more than double the city floor. However, this price includes all bills (electricity, water, gas, Wi-Fi), and the location in Eixample is central and well-connected. Comparable non-ensuite rooms in the same neighbourhood often range from €500 to €700 per month, so Entenca sits in the middle of that band. The €605–680 range is indicative — confirm with the operator.
For context, Barcelona has 189 student properties listed on the platform, so there is ample choice. If budget is the main concern, you can find cheaper options (e.g., shared rooms in less central districts like Nou Barris or Sant Andreu). If you prioritise a clean, hassle-free experience and a central location, Entenca’s pricing is fair but not cheap.
Room type guidance
The available unit types are listed as “non_ensuite” and “branded_independent_house.”
- Non-ensuite room: a private bedroom with shared bathroom and kitchen. This is the most common and affordable option in shared flats. At Entenca, expect to share the bathroom with 1–3 other housemates, depending on the apartment size. The reviews suggest the apartments are well-maintained, so the shared facilities are likely clean.
- Branded independent house: this label is less standard. It likely refers to a managed apartment that operates like a small branded residence – the landlord or management company provides standardised furniture, regular cleaning, and a set of rules (e.g., no parties). It is not a purpose-built student block but a regular apartment run by a company like Llogo (mentioned in reviews). You will still share with other tenants.
No ensuite or studio options are offered. If you need a private bathroom, look for other properties.
The minimum lease is 4 months. The maximum lease length is not specified, but monthly renewals may be possible after the initial term. Confirm with the operator.
Booking timing
Because the property’s listing currently carries a “not_available” tag, immediate booking is unlikely. This tag may mean all current rooms are occupied, or the property is temporarily offline for maintenance. Booking timing depends on when new rooms come onto the market.
General advice for Barcelona: the peak booking season for September intake runs from January to May. For a February semester, the peak is September to November. Entenca’s central location and positive reviews mean it likely fills up quickly once available. If you see availability, do not delay making an enquiry – but also do not pay a deposit until you have confirmed the room is still open.
If you are planning for the 2026–2027 academic year, start checking listings roughly 6–8 months before your intended move-in. Contact the property directly (via the platform) to ask when rooms are expected to be released.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: Is Entenca still available for booking?
Based on the current data, the property has been marked “not_available” in the listing system. This may mean all units are currently occupied or the property is not accepting new residents. Availability can change without notice, so the best course is to contact the operator directly. The prices provided (€605–680) are indicative — confirm with the operator.
H3: What is included in the rent?
The tags indicate that bills (electricity, water, gas) and Wi-Fi are included. There is also a laundry facility available on-site. No other inclusions such as cleaning service or gym are mentioned. The reviews do mention that maintenance is handled promptly. The exact scope of what “bills included” covers should be verified before signing.
H3: What is the minimum lease length and can I extend?
The minimum lease is 4 months. Extensions beyond the initial term are possible but not guaranteed – it depends on the management and whether the room remains available. The reviews suggest the management (Julien) is responsive, so you can negotiate directly.
