My destination for Erasmus exchange was - honestly - I wild shot. I had no idea what it's like in Slovenia, didn't speak the language - nothing. Moreover I spent the whole summer abroad, thinking very little about what I was gonna do next. And suddenly I found myself a couple of days from the departure with no place to stay once in Ljubljana.
We all hear the same when contacting the landlords - don't we? 'Oh, but you are a student... and a foreigner... and just for a couple of months?... No, no, I don't think so'
Then - thank God I came across HousingAnywhere. Well, number of rooms offered is limited, but those advertising them are ready to give them away quite cheaply and for short term. Also - the company addresses my biggest fear - that the money will just disappear. Owing to the 'safe payment' method you are 100% sure the landlord will not escape with your deposit, leaving you homeless.
Certainly - trustworthy!
