Personal comments

The guesthouse is definitely too expansive compared to the provided quality. However, the Erasmus atmosphere there was great and I would again live there.

I wish I had known...

No, nothing surprised me. It is hard to know what to expect until you get there, no matter what you told before hand.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

The experience was great. Wouldn't change a thing. For travel, make sure to get the Euro-rail-a lot cheaper and it will be used.
