Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? More independant, less noise with flatmates and possibility to receive people
Personal comments:
Closer to the University, but old flats, with no Internet access. We were obliged to book the flat through this company (VIVARE) and its web site. No photos available, no visits, no choice...
