The apartment is located in the heart of South Bank, just a 3-minute walk from the bus interchange, where Route 66 goes directly to UQ Lakes Station. The apartment also offers a free bookable shuttle bus directly to the University of Queensland, so you won’t have to get up extra early to rush to 8 a.m. classes. QUT Gardens Point campus is a 10-minute walk away, and Brisbane CBD is just across the bridge. Downstairs, it’s only a 5-minute walk to South Bank Parklands and the man-made beach, making it easy to take riverside walks, have picnics, or watch the sunset. Convenience stores, Woolworths, international restaurants, and bubble tea shops are all clustered nearby, so daily shopping and dining out are completely hassle-free.

The room offers a good living experience. Although it is not very large, the layout is comfortable, the fresh-air air conditioning works well, and the supporting facilities are complete. It is also very convenient to cook with the induction cooker. The mattress is comfortable, and the size is more than enough for one person. The white interior layout does not feel oppressive, and the sound insulation is good.

The housing is all ok, mainly because the sound insulation of the outer porch is not as good as expected. Everything else is very convenient, whether it is shopping or living. It is very comfortable to live alone. If there is a problem, the front desk can also solve it in time.

No windows, otherwise no issues, but some rooms may have no natural light at all. The front desk is open 24 hours, which is okay. It’s quite new and the facilities are very good, but the living experience depends on the location of the room.

It takes about 5 minutes to walk downstairs to SouthBank Park by the Brisbane River, which is super pleasant, and across the river is the City. The bus station, train station, and ferry station are all available, just a few minutes' walk away. It's very convenient to go anywhere. Direct buses to Sunnybank and Gold Coast, and it takes 15 minutes by bus to school. The LG level of Scape Southbank has a cinema, study rooms, a public kitchen, outdoor recreational areas, etc.

The bathroom is very clean with no odor, but it's quite hot inside. The environment is okay, but issues are not resolved in a timely manner. The lighting is not very sufficient, the windows can't be opened, but it is adequate for reading. There is a bus station downstairs, which is convenient for transportation.
