How to find a shared accommodation in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre

Finding your dream accommodation share is quite simple:

• Use social media: Besides sharing your life and keeping in touch with old friends, social media can be very useful for finding your future home. There are specialized groups that regularly offer rooms for rent in accommodation shares. Stay alert, as openings can become available quickly.
• Check specialized websites: It might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but specialized companies like La Carte des Colocs or Colivys are great resources for your search. They also feature listings from private individuals.

At Colivys, we offer a different kind of accommodation share, coliving, and it makes all the difference. Coliving is a community-based living arrangement that provides fully furnished rooms in well-equipped homes. Washing machine, dishwasher, and complete room furnishings are all included!

Practical tips for moving in a coliving accommodation

After giving you the best view of Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, it’s time to share some tips to help you prepare for coliving.

• Preparation is key: Before packing your bags, remember that in coliving, everything is included. This means you don’t need to search for the perfect mattress, bed frame, or headboard to furnish your apartment.
• Location matters: Make sure you know the location of your future home. Is it close to a metro or bus line? Is there a staircase or an elevator for access? If you have health issues, check if it’s accessible for people with disabilities or reduced mobility. If you smoke, ensure that smoking is allowed in the living space (though this is increasingly rare). If you have a car, see if it’s possible to reserve a parking spot nearby.
• Be open to others: Coliving means shared living spaces, so be ready to open up to others. Even if you don’t want to become best friends with your housemates, it’s essential to communicate well to maintain harmony and integrate into your coliving environment. Establishing moments of conviviality, like sharing meals, can be a good idea. If you’ve built some rapport, consider engaging in activities together, such as painting on the shared balcony.

Following these tips will ensure that your shared accommodation experience will be even better than you imagined!
