Apartments
Furnished, self-catering apartments
We have a number of furnished apartments available for rent, which you can share with other students, or rent for your own, exclusive use.
The normal minimum period for renting an apartment is 2 weeks, although shorter rentals can sometimes be arranged on request. These apartments are entirely self-catering, which means that no meals are provided.
The school has a number of apartments on-site (see below for details). All other apartments are centrally located and are therefore between 5-20 minutes from the school on foot or by public transport.
You have your own individual bedroom, which apart from a bed contains a wardrobe. Each apartment also has a kitchen, bathroom and living room and/or terrace.
These apartments are fully furnished and facilities normally include a washing machine and TV although this can't be guaranteed. We provide with sheets and towels, but your should bring your own beach towels.
We also provide you with a set of keys so that you can come and go when you please.
On arrival, usually on the Sunday before the course begins, you should make your own way to your apartment (unless a transfer has been requested). When bookings are confirmed we will send you the address of the apartment.
Apartments are cleaned once a week and bed linen is also changed weekly if requested.
Please also note:
- You must inform the school of your travel arrangements and estimated time of arrival; in this way the person handing over the keys won’t have to wait in the apartment unnecessarily, and you student won't have to wait on the street.
- We try to place students of the same age and sex together in the same apartment where possible. As this isn't always possible however, if you do not want to share an apartment with people of different ages or sex, you should make this very clear on the application form.
- You will be asked to pay the equivalent of 1 week's rent as a deposit when you collect the keys to the apartment on arrival. This deposit is refunded when the keys are returned and after the apartment has been checked for loss or damage. Any loss or damage which is attributed to you will be deducted from the deposit before the balance is returned.
