Personal comments
The apartment was good enough for four
people to live together and had satisfied most of our needs. Moreover it is walking distance from the University. Then the location is also very good.

Well there are many ways in which you could travel easily. Trains are cheaper than the bus. Also There is an international youth hostel card to avail the hostel facility. It wud help to have an international student card to save some more money.
But overall it is nice experience to live with.
