3. Hi Ana, I think it’s a great idea to rent somewhere together. I’ve found two places that might be alright. One is a house in a quiet neighbourhood by the river, which is an advantage, because I have trouble sleeping if there is too much noise. The advert says you can walk to the centre, though I looked on the map and it’s about 3 kilometres away. The other place is a modern flat. It’s more central and really close to everything, including the school, so we wouldn’t have to get up early for class. The problem is that it’s above a pub and that could be a bit noisy for me. Let me know what you think. All the best Sarah Is everything included in the example? That you want to share a flat. That you have some ideas.
