One opportunity if you are searching online is the web page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.airbnb.com<\/a>.<br \/>\nThis page helped me to find someone to live with. The page provides different possibilities. You can find someone who rents a whole apartment, just one room or even a house. The prices differ from place to place and you have many choices around the world. When you are looking for an apartment or a room, you can type in the city you want to live in.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finding a Place on Airbnb<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCF2328.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-25587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCF2328-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Finding a place to live\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCF2328-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCF2328-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCF2328-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCF2328.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Furthermore, you have the opportunity to look at a map and click on an available apartment when you like the area where the apartment is located. There is also always a picture of the person, who is renting the apartment or available room attached, so that you can see if the person looks friendly. Moreover, you always find a description of the apartment and the room and the price per day (or month if they just rent for at least 4 weeks). If you\u2019re interested in the offer you can send a request. That doesn\u2019t mean that you already confirmed. It just shows the provider that you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How do I get in touch with landlords?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-25592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"my room1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>After that you can e-mail back and forth to find out if you can imagine living with that person. I would also recommend talking on the phone. Even though I had my own room and bathroom, I found it important to know who I am going to live with for four months. Since you will still use the living room and kitchen together, I think it is important to get to know each other before. I also got some pictures from the room of my landlord. With this, I was looking forward to move in and could imagine living there. Airbnb is also a great opportunity if you are looking for a place to live during vacation. There are many landlords who are also renting a room for just some nights. It is fun to get to know new people and it\u2019s much cheaper than to sleep in a hotel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-25597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"my room2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/my-room2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI also tried <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiego.craigslist.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.craigslist.com<\/a>, a web page where Americans offer pretty much everything: household appliances, cars, places to live and much more. I was sending several e-mails to different people and just some answered. Maybe I had just no luck, because I know of other people who found their place to live there.<br \/>\nAll in all I can recommend Airbnb, because you have a wide variety and the web page is really easy to understand and structured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Searching for a place to live: Airbnb Report by Denise A.
