When should I start looking for accommodation near EADA Business School?
The earlier you search, the better, because central Eixample listings move quickly.
- EADA's main master's and MBA intake runs in September and October, so the best central homes go over the summer.
- Booking two to three months ahead secures the widest choice in the Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni.
- Reserving online before you arrive lets you sign from home and step straight into a furnished flat.
A spring or early-summer start gives you the calmest, broadest selection.
How does Spotahome verify properties and what happens if the apartment doesn't match the listing?
Every home goes through a listing verification process before going live, so the photos and details reflect the real property.
- If the flat doesn't match the listing when you arrive, report it within the first 24 hours.
- The Spotahome team then helps resolve it, by mediating with the landlord or arranging alternative accommodation.
It is a reassuring safeguard when you are renting from another city or country.
How much deposit do I have to pay? And when is it returned?
Each landlord sets the deposit, usually one or two months' rent.
- On listings tagged "Deposit protected", if the landlord fails to return it within three months of move-out and you met the contract terms, Spotahome refunds it to you directly.
- There are also many properties with no deposit at all, which you can filter for in the search.
Check the listing before booking to know which applies.
Do I need a guarantor to rent on Spotahome?
No local guarantor or Spanish payslip is needed to book.
- To reserve, you usually only need your ID or passport, your acceptance letter or student or worker credentials, and a payment method.
- Once the landlord accepts the booking, they may ask for proof of solvency and a bank direct debit to finalise the contract.
Preparing these in advance keeps the final step quick.
What is included in the monthly rent? What is not?
The monthly rent always includes the rent itself, the property tax and the building service charges. Utilities (electricity, gas, water and Wi-Fi) are included in many listings but not in all of them. In some properties a fixed monthly amount is applied instead. What's never included are personal items or food. Optional services like weekly cleaning or a parking space are usually paid separately. Always read each listing's description carefully to know exactly what each property covers.
