residence or homestays. For homestays, ask about common
area usage, meal arrangements, and any specific regulations.

maintenance problems. Ideally, there should be a 24/7
contact person for emergencies.

Upon arrival, verify that everything aligns with the stipulated
conditions. Report any preexisting damage or missing items
promptly to ensure a smooth start to your stay.
