Not only do you meet new and interesting people, but you also learn new skills when living with someone you didn\u2019t know (well) before moving in together. <strong>Just imagine all the funny stories you will be able to tell.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is important, however, to check out some of the advice listed below to make the most of <strong>sharing a place<\/strong> with others.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Select_a_roommate_with_care_and_attention\"><\/span>1. Select a roommate with care and attention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the first and most important phase, because although it can be complicated, choosing a suitable roommate is the first step. First impressions do not always last, and selecting the best possible person to live together with could <strong>avoid conflicts<\/strong> in the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Relevant aspects to take into account are: <strong>personal habits<\/strong>, <strong>work or study schedules<\/strong>, whether there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/barcelona-rent\/pet\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>pets<\/strong><\/a> involved and what a person\u2019s <strong>hobbies<\/strong> are. Ultimately you will be spending much of your time with the other flat mates, so spend an adequate amount of time on selecting the right person.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Spend_time_and_do_hobbies_together\"><\/span>2. Spend time and do hobbies together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to have a healthy relationship with your roommates, you should invest time in getting to know each other. Spend time with the other individuals, both inside and outside of the apartment. You could block a certain day of the week to <strong>eat together<\/strong>, or you could <strong>start watching a new series on Netflix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_104683\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-104683\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Foto-door-Mollie-Sivaram-via-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"legs and feet in front of tv\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-104683\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Mollie Sivaram via Unsplash<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Respect_each_other\"><\/span>3.

When a roommate\u2019s habits or behaviour start bothering you, don\u2019t automatically assume that someone does it on purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You never know why people do the things they do, so have some empathy and don\u2019t always think you are right or that your way is the only way. Give in to what someone else wants to do, even if you don\u2019t exactly feel like it at the time. <strong>Go with the flow and enjoy the experience!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_An_organised_apartment_is_essential\"><\/span>4. An organised apartment is essential<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to <strong>be a good roommate<\/strong>, you should always keep the apartment clean and tidy. This is one of the key aspects of living together, because it can quickly lead to conflicts between roommates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To avoid having arguments or irritations, use a schedule, so everyone know what tasks they are responsible for during the week. It keeps the space you live in clean, and you make sure everyone contributes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_104684\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-104684\" class=\"wp-image-104684 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Foto-door-The-Creative-Exchange-via-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"sharing an apartment in barcelona with confetti\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-104684\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by The Creative Exchange via Unsplash<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/covid-19-disinfect-home\/\">Covid-19 And How to Disinfect Your Home<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Check_with_roommates_before_inviting_guests\"><\/span>5.

Communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It can be hard to be open about what is bothering you about someone else when you live together.

Talking can solve matters very quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Enjoy_and_learn_from_the_experience\"><\/span>7.

They almost feel like a second family, and sometimes when you don\u2019t live close to your relatives, your roommates can be the best support you could possibly have.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Your_room_is_your_private_space\"><\/span>8.
