Barcelona Remote Work Forum

I’m looking for a monthly rental in Barcelona. I’m only planning to stay 1 or 2 months.

Thanks!

Hi guys, as I wrote in the title I am planning to move to Barcelona with my girlfriend starting from January 2017 and I am looking to rent a flat for 6 months, possibly in the Born area, but open also to other neighborhoods. My budget is around €800 per month. Is anyone looking to rent out something that could fit my request? Any help would be appreciated!

Lots of nomads in and headed to Barcelona. Let’s create a central place for resources, guides and sites for finding an apartment.

I’m headed there in April for 1-3 months (argh, Schengen!). So far Craigslist and Spotahome seem useful. What else is there?

Also any thoughts on neighborhoods would be great here. Right now I’m looking at Gracia which seems to be the spot. Probably avoid Barrio Gotico and Barceloneta due to masses of tourists. I’ve heard some good things about El Born… thoughts?

Long story short, my friends and I flew with Vueling and they lost our luggage. They’ve done nothing so far except ignoring the problem. They’ve failed to give us any kind of status on the luggage or offer any kind of compensation. Some of us even had our work laptops in our bags. It’s been five days with no response. Several times when we’ve contacted them, they’ve hung up the phone on us. It’s been a terrible experience, and since we can’t get them to do anything reasonable through their normal customer support channels, I’d like to escalate it by filing a formal complaint with some sort of government or legal entity that helps hold businesses accountable. The only problem is that I don’t know who to report it to in Barcelona/Spain. I speak good enough Spanish to file a claim, but since I don’t know what that sort of entity is called in Spanish, I’ve been having trouble finding where to do so.

TL;DR Where can I file consumer complaints against a company with the government or a legal entity in Barcelona or Spain?

Does anyone have any advice for Barcelona in terms of places to live that are dog friendly? Does anyone even travel with pets? Or even in a campervan? I plan to do lots of Europe first and foremost spending 1-2 months at a time in different cities/countries/places.
