If you’re asking yourself, how can I be more sustainable in my day-to-day life? Then this might just be the blog for you.. Read more... >
Been living here for a year and love it. The house is new and clean with fast internet and a lot of flatmates that share the same kitchen so you will never be lonely. It’s close to the university and many local supermarkets as well as the subway, train station, airport and a 24 hour gym. The rooms are large enough and very comfortable and the staff are super nice and friendly. The kitchens are cleaned by the cleaning ladies once a week and they work so hard!
