Short-Term Accommodation Listing
It is not always possible to secure a rental flat before arrival. Very often, you may wish to come earlier before the term starts to look for a rental flat. In that case, you will need to book for short-term accommodation, say a few days in a guest house or a hotel. It is advisable that you make the booking early. Depending on the market situation, and your personal preference, at least one week is needed to find a rental flat, get it furnished, and settle down.
