Hello Y’all,
Especially those who live in Barcelona. I’ll be moving there at the end of the summer (I think, maybe sooner). Tonight I started looking at some of the apartments listed on barcelona.craigslist.org to see what was out there. I’m not sure how well craigslist represents the living oppurtunities available in Barcelona, but I was curious. So I wonder if any expats can give me some advice on how to go about things.
I’m enrolled in a Spanish language course at the Universidad de Barcelon that starts in mid-september. If I come to Barcelona, how much of a grace period should I give myself to find a place to live? Is it best to do a short term rental until I find a place, stay in a hostel? I’m not sure what to do! I think no matter what it should work out OK, but I am curious about how others have gone about things.
Any advice?

Is this something I will come across easily? A good deal or bad deal? I know it’s short term so maybe it’s different than the type of situation I’d find looking for a longer term rental.
I know, so many questions! But I’m sure most of you understand!
Thanks a lot!
Stephen
