Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I loved the independence the apartment let us have, emmercing us into the culture with no safety net. It allowed us to be free to experience everything around us on our own.
