Accommodation
We will be happy to arrange accommodation for you during your stay in Barcelona. The best way to practice your Spanish and learn about Spanish culture is to stay with a Spanish host family but you can also stay in a shared self-catering apartment. Just choose whichever option best suits your needs. We try to find accommodation as near to the school as possible and catering for preferences, but no guarantees can be given as it depends on availability at the time of the course. The Lewis School can also arrange accommodation for you in student halls of residence, hotels, guest houses or youth hostels.
Host family
This is an excellent opportunity to live with a Spanish family during your stay and to practice Spanish outside the classroom.
The majority of the families have been working with us for many years and live near to the school, so you can walk to school or take a short bus or subway ride.
Accommodation is in single rooms and you will be given your own front door key. Rooms are equipped with a desk or table where you can study. Breakfast and dinner are provided 7 days a week. In Spain, people typically have dinner between 8.30 and 10 p.m. and this time is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the company of your host family.
Some host families take one student, while others accept two or more. In the latter case, we always put students together who speak different languages.
The host families have been carefully chosen and interviewed in their homes, to ensure an optimum level of comfort and security for the students. The accommodation is available from the Sunday before the course begins to the Saturday after the course. It is also possible to reserve extra nights.

Shared apartments
You will be sharing with students of other nationalities or sometimes with the owner. In general, the apartments are 
simple, but contain basic amenities (table, cupboards, kitchen utensils, sheets, etc.). Each apartment has an equipped kitchen, living/dining room, washing machine or nearby launderette and an iron. Telephone calls from the apartment are restricted, and can only be made with the use of a pre-paid phone card (pick one up at the school). The kitchen and bathroom are shared, so it is important to keep them clean and tidy. Food is not included in the price as apartments are self-catering.
