Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I think it's really interesting to share a flat with other people from different countries,not only because you have to speak in a foreign language but also because from sharing everyday life we can learn a lot on each other
