Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because my stay at apartment was very comfortable and convenient. Park, Subway Station, Supermarket were located very close.
Personal comments:
There were a lot of Erasmus students living in the same apartment's area so that it was really comfortable. The good point was that the room is private but the close, bathroom is to share and the kitchen shared with 8 people. I liked that a lot.
