Short term rentals in Barcelona June 2022

We had a wonderful experience in Barcelona renting in an Aparthotel for a week , “Hispanic 7 Suizas” is nearby La Sagrada Familia on a side street. in Eixample district. Two bedroom,2 bath apartments, full kitchen, W/D, balcony with a staff concierge in lobby to help answer questions, book reservations. I highly recommend this place to stay and will return when we go to Barcelona again.

Hi Suki,
Thanks so much for this information! This definitely looks like an option!

Without knowing what your requirements and priorities are, I just did a quick look on booking.com at Casp 74 Apartments, where I have a week booked in March with free cancellation. A week in June is more than I am paying in March, but far closer to your budget (at @ $175/night) than the $500 you said you are seeing. I haven’t stayed there yet, obviously, but someone else on the forum asked about it and had a positive response.

I have quit using Airbnb for the most part - I seem to find better options for me on booking.com.

Barcelona banned AIrbnb. You have to have a license for short term rentals there.

I just booked a 12-day Airbnb rental this weekend for the middle of June. I paid $90/night in Vila de Gracia. As I look again, I do see many fewer listings, but there are a few in the $120-140 range, especially as you get a little farther out from the city center. I sure am glad that I pulled the trigger on my place when I did!!

This thread got me curious, so I did some more investigating, and the exorbitant prices are only during the first week of June. If you search for May, later in June or in July, there are lots of places all over the city in your price range. There must be something going on in Barcelona that first week that is jacking all the prices up. I'm guessing it's price gouging for some event that everyone is assuming people will be willing to pay for no matter what.

Thanks Bill for the help. Yes, we thought the same thing, some event or festival. There is something on the 4th/5th of June, but it doesn't seem to be anything major. Unfortunately, we are locked into our dates because of airfare and other cities that we are visiting. I agree, great that you locked in your rental when you first saw it. Oddly, yesterday, we did see those few you had mentioned a little further out. As we first looked, they were available, within 20 minutes, they were unavailable, and now this morning, available again. Something very weird is going on. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts and your investigating!

Ahh Bill, okay, we hadn't heard of this and thought since it's just on the weekend, surely it couldn't be the culprit. I see we were wrong. Darn! Bad timing on our part. Oh well! Thanks so much for all your input!!!

@princess pupule - thanks so much for these ideas! I'll try those too!!!
