House sharing is a classic in all cities. The website EasyPiso.com, devoted to renting rooms, has a study on the most expensive cities (and the cheapest) for house sharing. Most people who opt to share a house or flat are students. In fact, 35% of those who do so are between 21 and 25. The second age bracket who share the most is the 26 to 30 age range, followed by 16 to 20-year olds. As for older people, 16% are between 31 and 40, while those over this age make up 10%.

According to the study, the most expensive city for house sharing in 2015 was Ibiza, with an average price per room of 521 euros.
