Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I lived with other portuguese students and a portuguese landlady who spoke no english, I learned a lot in a very short time
Personal comments:
There is an office that provide a list of landlords but the office is fairly hard to find. Asking other Erasmus students is a good way to start
