Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: by myself, alone.
Why?
At the begining it is ok to rent a room and share with other people, but you get tired of it. You always have to take anything that is in front of you, you can not choose.
