Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would repeat my experience because the best part was sharing house with other students but i would recomend to the housing company to try to improve their services (there is always a problem with any facility in almost every house).
