This can include living with a single person, a couple who may or may not have children, a widow/widower, or a single parent with children. Students have their own bedroom. Kitchen and bathroom facilities are shared with the family. In general, guests are not permitted. Estimated cost: 600-950 euros per month depending on the number of meals shared with the family.
