Reviews from previous residents

"Living in Poblenou was one of the best decisions of my year in Barcelona. The residence is five minutes from the beach and three minutes from BAU. The pool and the interior courtyard are incredible." – Laura, BAU Design – 2023–2024 "The standard of the residence is impressive. A private bathroom and kitchen in the room, an international community, the 22@ on the doorstep and the beach a short walk away. I can't think of a better place to study in Barcelona." – Adrián, UPF – 2024–2025
