Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

I think I have been very lucky because I have found a great appartment at a very reasonable price, close to university, in a young neighbourhood and over that the appartment is spacious, clean and is well equipped.
