Facilities
Being a member of the family you can use all the common places in the house as normal. The bathroom is shared so you will have to agree with the other members of the house for its use, especially in the mornings. Your family will wash your clothes once a week, although if you need to use the washing machine more times, of course, there will be no problem.
With all of our families there is free internet access, if you want to use the landline phone at home you must discuss it with the family beforehand.
