You forgot to mention that if you are a clean freak you will hate it, as alot of people are dirty and don't care about keeping the place clean. It's sad to see that alot of foreigners don't care about other people and just live as if they would be living back home and expect mum or dad to clean after them.
Share houses are great if you don't mind people stealing your food, clothes being lost, kitchen utensils being left dirty because people are to lazy to wash after cooking….
I think these things should be said as well ^^
