Housing
Type of housing: Guesthouse for exchange students
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
Personal comments
The Guesthouse was good to get to know people, but I think I wouldn't choose it again as it is very expensive and especially I wouldn't choose a double room again.
