Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would do the same! Meaning that I am very pround to have found a flat to share with local people in order to improve my language skills in Spanish. Morever it is very useful to live with people knowing the city, there are like personal guides.
