Лекция: Finding a Room

When inquiring about a room it is always a good idea to ask at the beginning whether laundry and heating are included in the price.

If you want to share a flat, look in the 'flats to let' column of an evening paper for advertisements like: 4th Girl shr. s/c Hampstead fit. 01134 2343 evenings. This means that a fourth girl is required to share a selfcontained flat in Hampstead, and that enquiries should be made by telephone in the evenings.
