Public Transport
Properties are situated in city centers with excellent access to metro, bus, and tram networks. Major train stations and airports are accessible via these public transport links.
Car Considerations
A car is generally not necessary for daily life in these central urban locations. Parking availability would be property-specific and likely limited.

The locations are highly walkable, with groceries, cafes, and other daily necessities within easy reach. Local transport options like taxis and ride-sharing are readily available.
Key Distances
Specific distances vary by property, but all are in central districts, placing residents within walking distance or a short public transport ride from key commercial areas, universities, and leisure venues.
Challenges & Tips
As with any central city living, street parking is challenging. For viewing properties, virtual 3D tours are offered for remote candidates, while in-person visits are recommended to meet potential housemates and assess the neighborhood vibe.
