What is a coliving?

A coliving is a flexible and community-based form of accommodation that allows people to live and work with like-minded from wherever they desire.

Colivings can come in many different shapes and sizes and be tailored to vey particular kind of communities.

Our community is comprised of entrepreneurs, creators, artists and dreamers who are driven by the desire to create their life’s work.

Who is a kreator?

Kreators, simply put, are purpose-driven individuals who dare to build and live the life of their dreams.

Kreators step out of their comfort zones and take life into their own hands to pursue their passions in life.

A kreator isn’t just the entrepreneur. We’re also the content creators, artists, coaches, explorers, doers and dreamers.

What kind of people can I expect to live with?

The usual resident is somewhere between 25 and 35 years old. However, we believe that age is just a number. In general, we look for young-spirited individuals, who may also be older.

It is very uncommon that we'll have either students, interns or professionals in entry-level jobs. We'll only make an exception if this person has a proven ambition or plan to get to the next level.

Very important: if you're just looking for a room to stay in and don't plan on interacting with others, Karisma is not what you're looking for.

No worries, you won't be expected to constantly be doing everything with your fellow colivers. You are grown-ups and can do whatever you desire. However, we do look for people who are social and collaborative in nature.

Why should I stay at Karisma over any other place?

If you compare Karisma to every possible alternative, we can safely say that you’ll have a hard time finding an accommodation that gives you this level of flexibility and offers every amenity and piece of furniture you may need.

If sharing a home and meeting others is one of your priorities, what clearly differentiates us from any other coliving space is the people.

You’re lucky that all coliving spaces in Barcelona are excellent but if you’re a kreator, there’s no place you’ll feel more at home than at Karisma.

Community isn’t just another cliché word we through around. Our secret ingredient is the people, which is why we carefully curate every single member.

Our mission is to inspire and empower you to live the life of your dreams by surrounding you with uplifting and outstanding individuals.

What's included in the price?

First things first: you only pay one monthly fee without any hidden costs. Utilities, amenities, the majority of events and so much more are included.

Our home is fully equipped so you don’t have to worry about anything else. If there’s something really important you want in the home that may add value to the community, please let us know.

We will clean the property once per week, 2 sets of towels and bed sheets are included and there’s no agency or sign up fees. We’ll organize or co-create with the community at least one event per week.

Exceptions:

– We’ll cover up to 70€/person for utilities. Anything above that will be covered by the individual residents.
– Most events are included in the price unless we collectively decide to go really big or do something really expensive. We’re always happy to help you organize any events, workshops or experiences.

How much does it cost to stay at Karisma?

Every room and every apartment is different. We will adjust the price according to the overall assessment.

Calculate that the rooms can range all the way from 900€/month to 1500€/month. We can't predict when each individual room will be available.

We want to create a diverse environment with people who may either be farther down their journey or have the ambition but are still getting started.

Our goal is to eventually have options for all kinds of kreators.

What's the setup and location of the property?

Our home has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, 3 of them with a shower.

It is almost 200m2 big and has a massive balcony overlooking Park Güell, Sagrada Familia and the Mediterranean Sea.

The property is located in the north of Gracia and a 5-7min walk away from the L3 and L6 metro lines, which take you to all of the best parts of Barcelona in less than 15min.

Here's one of our previous YouTube videos sharing the final look of the space.

How does the application process work?

The curation process is where our community starts. We carefully curate our members to strive to achieve the best possible chemistry.

You need to apply through our website by answering a set of questions to get to know you and know when you’d like to move in with us.

If we believe you’re a good fit, we’ll schedule a casual video call where you’ll be able to ask any questions you may have.

In case there’s multiple candidates who might fit in, we’ll let the current colivers make the final choice.

We expect to have a large volume of applications. It’s not just about being a good being the right fit but also about being able to move in when a room becomes unavailable.

Will I be able to stay productive and get shit done?

Karisma is a place that fosters creation and growth so you can accelerate the path towards your wildest dreams.

On one hand, we provide you with tools (fiber optic WiFi, podcast mics, whiteboards, ergonomic chairs, etc.) so you can unleash your creativity.

On the other hand, we give you the opportunity to choose whether you want to work from your bedroom or the workspace in the common area.

When is rent paid?

Residents must pay rent before the 3rd day of the upcoming month.

Rent is calculated on a month-by-month basis. If you arrive in middle of the month, you’ll only pay 50% of the rent for that particular month.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes. Every resident must pay 1 month worth of deposit between the signing of the contract and the move-in date.

Can I extend my stay at Karisma?

Yes, as long as you let us know more than 1 month in advance.

If no one were to move in on your original date of departure, we can make an exception but we don’t think that will be the case.

Remember: there’s a minimum stay of 32 days due to legal reasons.

What is the cancellation policy?

You need to let us know 1 month in advance about your unexpected departure so we have enough time to fill up the room.

In case of a sudden departure without any previous notice, we’ll charge you for the time your room remains empty but never more than 1 month worth of rent.

In case you decide to cancel your stay before moving in with less than 1 week of notice, the deposit won’t be reimbursed.

How do check-ins and check-outs work?

Every resident can move in starting 4pm on the day of arrival and move out by 12pm on the day of departure.

Please let us know if you have any questions or how we can improve.
