Shared apartment
This type of accommodation is for students who wish to travel on a low budget. To share an apartment with somebody is a common way in Germany for young people to reduce the costs of living when they have their first flat or are still university students for example. Germans who share their apartment are young (in the majority under the age of 30), either university students or job beginners, single or a couple. Or they are already an existing ‚flat-sharing community‘ who look for a new flatmate. All shared apartments are inspected by Colón staff! Suitable for language students who wish to be independent and are prepared to arrange all things for living by themselves, like going shopping, cooking, doing the washing, cleaning their room etc.
