I live in a flat share of 3 and we also have one adorable cat with us. The flat is 5 minutes walking distance to the beautiful Rhine river, two supermarkets, drug stores, pharmacies, hairdressers, massage places, you name it. It is a vegan flat share, so storing or preparing animal ingredients is not allowed here. Also, we are a queer flat share and do not accept guests who do not at least consider themselves allies to the LGBTQ+ community. Main language of the house is English, but German or French is also spoken. Roomates are lovely people and the whole house has a super friendly vibe.
Looking forward to room swapping!
