Coliving involves renting a private, usually furnished, room in a building or large flat managed by an operator. Residents share common areas like the kitchen. In Madrid, there are 4 coliving operators; a room in a shared flat rented monthly has a median price of 625 €.
How coliving works
An operator runs the building and sets the house rules. The monthly price typically bundles the room, use of shared spaces, bills, internet and cleaning of the common areas. Some operators also organise activities for residents. Residents sign their contract directly with the operator.

Comparing coliving with a room in a shared flat
In a room in a shared flat, the landlord and flatmates set the house rules. In a temporada rental, bills are often included, or included up to a monthly consumption cap, with any excess paid at the end of the stay – this must be written in the contract.
