How to get to EU Business School from Barcelona city centre

The Ganduxer campus sits in the upper city, with quick and reliable links from the centre:

• FGC train: from Plaça Catalunya the L6 reaches La Bonanova or Muntaner in about 10 minutes, leaving a short walk to Ganduxer.
• Bus: lines 14, 16 and the V13 connect the lower city with Sant Gervasi in roughly 20 to 30 minutes.
• Metro plus walk: line 6 of the FGC plus a 10-minute walk works well, as does line 3 to Muntaner for the Diagonal building.

How much does student accommodation near EU Business School cost?

The Spotahome Rent Index 2026 gives clear price ranges for the neighbourhoods around the campus.

A room in a shared flat is the most popular choice near EU, keeping costs down in an upmarket area and making it easy to meet people early on. If you would rather have your own space, a studio in Sant Gervasi - Galvany is a self-contained option close to campus, with an average price around 2,130 € and bills included in a good share of listings, so check what each monthly figure covers.

When should I start looking for accommodation near EU Business School?

Search early, because the upper-city rental pool is smaller and moves quickly.

• EU's main intake runs in October, with a second entry in February, so demand peaks in late summer and again in winter.
• Booking two to three months ahead gives you the widest choice in Galvany and La Bonanova.
• Reserving online before you arrive lets you sign from home and walk into a furnished flat on day one.

Starting in spring or early summer is the calmest way to secure a good room near campus.

How does Spotahome verify properties and what happens if the apartment doesn't match the listing?

Each home goes through a listing verification process before it goes live, so the photos and details match 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 practical safety net when you are booking a home from abroad.

How much deposit do I have to pay? And when is it returned?

The deposit is set by each landlord, 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.
• Many properties also come with no deposit at all, and you can filter for these in the search.

Check the listing before booking to see which option applies.

Do I need a guarantor to rent on Spotahome?

No, you do not need a local guarantor or a Spanish payslip 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 your booking, they may request proof of solvency and a bank direct debit to finalise the contract.

Having these ready in advance keeps the last step quick and smooth.

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.
