How do I find a vacation rental in Barcelona?

Posted in News On Jul 27, 2023

Why go on holiday in Barcelona?

Barcelona is a very popular city with tourists from all over the world. It is full of architectural gems, some of them the work of the famous architect Antoni Gaudí, such as the Casa Batlló and the famous Sagrada Família. And whether you prefer the mountains or the sea, you won’t have to choose in Barcelona. So, after a dip in Barceloneta, be tempted by the beautiful view from Montjuic Park overlooking Barcelona!

Finding a vacation rental in Barcelona is not always easy. When you start looking, you’re bound to have a lot of questions, such as: Which neighborhood to live in? Where to look? How to find the best value for money? Here are some tips to help you find the holiday rental of your dreams.

Find the neighborhood of your dreams

Barceloneta

If you love the sea and want to wake up to the sound of seagulls and the smell of the sea air, the Barceloneta neighborhood is the place for your holiday apartment in Barcelona. And if you’re in the mood for fresh air and a boat ride, just leave the house and head for the port!

Gracia

Gracia is an authentic neighborhood in Barcelona, once a village in its own right. This neighborhood is perfect for those who want to get to know the locals and immerse themselves in the Catalan atmosphere. Moreover, the narrow streets decorated by the locals have an irresistible charm.

Eixample

The Eixample is home to most of Antoni Gaudí’s works. Whether you’re staying near the Sagrada Família or Passeig de Gràcia, you’re sure to come across some of the famous architect’s impressive buildings.

Ciutat Vella

The Ciutat Vella district is Barcelona’s old town. Its narrow streets, always bustling with activity, are lined with small shops and tapas bars. Most of the streets are pedestrianized.

Benefit from the best price-quality ratio

Book in advance

To benefit from the cheapest prices on the market, it makes sense to organize it in advance. It is advisable to rent the holiday homes in Barcelona 3 months in advance. So if you find it hard to plan ahead, you’re going to have to work hard! But this fact will motivate you: it has been proven that tenants who book their flat one week in advance pay 2 to 3 times more than those who book several months in advance.

Find out about the cheapest seasons

As you would expect, prices fluctuate depending on the season in which you want to go. In high season, i.e., April to September, prices are about twice as high as in low season. You’ll also be surprised at how quiet and relaxing Barcelona can be in the off-season.

Finding the right place to rent your flat

Renting from a specialized website

Make sure that the website where you plan to rent your flat is reliable. Check that it has a tourist license and an approved catalog.

There are various sites of this type, such as our agency Loca Barcelona, which offers tourist vacation rentals apartments in Barcelona. It has a tourist license and offers a wide selection of flats. In addition, our advisors will help you in your search and will answer all your questions so that you can find what you are looking for easily and safely.

If you are interested in exploring the city a little bit further and staying for a longer time, check out our short-term rental apartments in Barcelona.

Pay attention to the cancellation conditions for flexibility and security

Depending on the hosts with whom you rent your flat, the cancellation conditions may vary. While some may be very strict (no refund in case of cancellation), others may, on the contrary, be very flexible (100% cancellation). So if you are unsure of the exact dates you plan to go to Barcelona, make sure your rental contract is flexible!
