The co-living is a concept that differs from the notion of having roommates.”Private bedrooms, combined with common spaces shared with other people, are features these two brands of housing share.
29、However, the way co-living differs from the traditional roommate arrangements is that the former comes with individual leases(租期).

38、rested in where panels should be located to get the most energy production.
