The best way to begin the quest for a flat is to stay in one of the widespread Barcelona apartments or Barcelona hotels. From there on you have the chance to look at all the available flat (usually shared ones) in and around Barcelona.

Rooms within a flat in the town are usually not bigger than 9m² and yes you do have to pay nearly 400€ for this which is very normal in Barcelona. Furthermore due to the high prices of flats in the town many older couples or singles offer parts of their apartments for rent so do not be shocked by that and do not immediately sort those ones out of your list of possible apartments. Take your time and visit as many flats as you can- in the end, everybody will find one that suits him.
