Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If I come back, I will chose the same kind of accommodation because it is the most practical. My actual roommates are not French but Spanish, therefore it is a insightful experience.
