Housing Options:

• Homestays 
• Apartments 
• Residence Halls
• Temporary Housing 

Homestays

A homestay is a cross-cultural experience between families and students that mutually benefit both parties. Students improve their Spanish in the warmth of a family environment while acquiring first-hand insight into the country’s culture and customs. There’s also the added value of having home cooked meals, weekly clean up service, and linens and laundry included in the price, which gives you more free time to enjoy the city. You are independent while not feeling isolated.

We have a pool of selected host families.

This living arrangement provides:

• Two meals a day; breakfast and dinner. Allergies and preferences are taken into consideration.

• Towels and linens.

• Weekly cleaning of room and change of linens.

• Your own set of keys, you can come and go as you please.

• Participation in family’s activities (if interested).

• WiFi and utilities are included in the price.

Apartments and shared apartments 

You can rent a room from someone who has already signed the contract with the owner, or you may rent directly from the owner. Common areas and chores are shared. Utilities are not usually included in the price.  

Residence Halls

What we have come to know as a dorm consists of sleeping quarters or entire buildings primarily providing sleeping and communal areas for large numbers of students. They are usually more expensive than the other options but commonly include utilities, Internet, laundry and cleaning services, linens and towels, and some meals.

Temporary Accomodations

Temporary housing can be arranged for the first few days of arrival while choosing your final housing options. We can also help accommodate parents or accompanying adults.

Choices include:

• Hostels

• Dorms

• Hotels

We can also provide you with:

• Airport pick up and drop-off at the doorstep of your new home.

• Tailored tours: we can arrange for special tours of the city and surroundings.

• Classes: flamenco, catalan, guitar, you name it.
