Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I Would choose the same because ist was very nice to live in an appartement in the old city centre of Aix. There was so much going on in town that I was glad to live in a private house and not in a university residence with plenty of other students.
