The history of the company dates back to 2001, when Rent a Bedroom S.L. was founded with the clear target of becoming the leader of the Barcelona student accommodation market. Four years on, Rent a Bedroom S.L. was managing 140 rooms in the centre of Barcelona, spread across 38 apartments.
Melon District opened its first 97 rooms in a building on Barcelona’s famous Avinguda Paral·lel in September 2007.
In September 2009, Melon District opened the biggest residence in Barcelona, with 500 rooms, in the 22@ district, the largest urban redevelopment project in the city.
Following its success and the outstanding response it has received in Barcelona, Melon District will shortly be opening a new residence in Paris as part of its expansion plan.
