Why?
I like the freedom that it gave me and also I like it because I lived in a neighborhood a bit outside of the city so I was able to interact with local people and thus learn the language and culture better.

I was impressed at housing at John Cabot. While the cost was not greatI do think that I got what I paid for. All apartments I looked at were clean and spacious.
