I’d lived with a Guizhou girl, she had terrible health habits. She usually left her delivery food packages in kitchen untill someone cleaned it. Or she sprayed cereal on table accidentally and let it be in purpose. One time, she got her period and kept her blood on toilet without wiping it. The boys were troubled because of it.

But if your flatmate is nice, and you respect each other, having someone to be company is still wonderful. And you don’t need to worry about forget the key. The best thing is you can have lower rental. That’s why I choose shared apartment and live with friend.At least I know my friend better than a stranger.
