Personal comments
I stayed in an apartment with only one room. When I arrived, we were 4 students living there. 3 in the room and the other one in the dining room. The apartment was very small and we had some problems with the neighbors, who where tired of some many foreign people arriving and leaving. Finally, I had to go to the police office because the man who was renting us the apartment was not his owner and wanted to know details from us. It was not easy!
