Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because it has been a great experience: I lived with 5 girls coming from all Europe and we enjoyed ourselves very much. We made a lot of parties in the appartment, we didn't have any problem living together. There was a really good atmosphere in our house and there were always friends visiting someone.
