Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in an apartment allows you to live with people and learn other cultures and we follow rules to keep everything clean according to our own ideas. I recommend to live with 3p max.
