Hi again Droste,

I would not go to any school where they just give you the name of a motel and ask you to be punctual for next morning's lesson. The only time I have done that is when the school frankly told me their quarters were too messy and suggested a nearby clean motel for a short stay, which turn out to be absolutely great ! At least they were honest about it.

There are many schools in Australia where they have their own private accomodation which is serviced and cleaned periodically. The best thing about such quarters is you get to meet the other students to discuss training points and exchange the latest info about what's happening at the school. Such schools are less likely to treat you unfairly as you would be in the loop about things.

The location of such accomodation range from on-airport facilities (usually at smaller aerodromes in the country) or close-by quarters (especially in built up areas in cities and towns).

I believe there is no substitute for an advance visit in person because different students have different tastes. Maybe that's too much to ask coming from Amsterdam but I hope you'll see my point.
