“First nights you can sleep in one of hostals. Prices between 12 - 20 Euros for a night. It is good to look for a place to live with at last basic knowledge of a town. do not have hurry with that! It's not difficult to find something near your faculty and a town center too.” Read Review

First nights you can sleep in one of hostals. Prices between 12 - 20 Euros for a night. It is good to look for a place to live with at last basic knowledge of a town. do not have hurry with that! It's not difficult to find something near your faculty and a town center too.
