If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The conditions were so good. I'd definetely choose to live in the same flat again.
Personal comments:
My flat was close enough to anywhere I'd like to go. It was clean and wide enough. I didn't miss my house in my home country.

Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
Personal comments:
In Finland, I didn't have problems with communicating people because most of them knew English. On the other hand, I wanted to learn their language because of my interest. Finnish was so different than any of the languages I ever heard. I took a course to learn and bhad chance to practice with my Finnish friends.
