Your English-speaking friend is coming to study for a year in a town near you. Dear Peter, I am glad for coming near me. I am sure, than We will enjoy long times together. I found a nice flat near an amazing park, where you could do exercises when you like. Its flat has all you need,like bathroom and tv in your room,dishwasher,nice views,etc You would have to see it! I heard about this flat, when I were drinking a coffee in a small cafe with a college, and then A woman ,which was behind me , was talking with the waiter about this flat. And I asked him, because I had heard them to talk. Also The waiter knows me since a lot of years. I like the views , the location, the full equipment. you only need to bring your clothes, and all items which you need to do daily like. Best wishes Lourdes
