## Other accommodation agencies
You can find links to different housing providers on the BoPoolen website. Here you can also find links to short-term accommodation, such as hostels and bed & breakfasts. Please note that many of the websites linked to on BoPoolen are in Swedish. If you contact the agencies via telephone or email they will be able to answer your questions in English, however. **Before you pay any deposits or rent to private landlords, please read BoPoolen's recommendations on how to avoid fraudsters.**
