Mo - ' du titre ' - the famous auberge (mentioned/referred to) in the title. Aurélie goes on to explain the expression 'auberge espagnole'. 

In English, the US title "The Spanish Apartment" carries no hidden meaning as far as I am aware (I am not from the US), but in French the title indicates the type of apartment, situations and movie to be expected ! 

' Pot Luck ' comes closer in English, but still not quite as concise I think.
