Personal comments
The location was good, the accomodation was so close to University.
It was in a green park and this was what I liked more. It was an extremely simple accomodation, rooms were really small, but, at the same time, there were all the facilities.

Personal comments
It was difficult to communicate with local people in everyday life experiences, because local accent is not so easy to understand, furthermore local people usually speak too fast. I didn' have any problem to communicate with other international students, and neither did at university: teachers used to speak a perfect english.
