Rental, hotel, shared apartment, &#8230; why not try coliving? Coliving appeared on the real estate market a few years ago, and it breaks the rules of the classic shared housing system. A clever mix between a shared apartment and a hotel, coliving allows you to enjoy large spaces in the heart of the cities where we are located, for a moderate rent. Our coliving apartments include common spaces (at least one kitchen and one bathroom) as well as private spaces (at least one bedroom per roommate) to allow each of you to keep your privacy. Some of our apartments are even equipped with a cinema room, gym, rooftops or garden. A great way to share good times with your roommates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, with Colivys, you won&#8217;t have to worry about rental charges. Water, electricity, gas, internet, home insurance.
