Although the room is not very large, the design is quite practical, and it works well for daily use. The kitchen is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, which is great. Transportation is convenient, and daily life is easy. It is right next to Queen Victoria Market, making grocery shopping very convenient. The roommates are easy to get along with, and life here is very pleasant. Only I can enter my room, and there is access control, so it is very safe.

The location is very convenient, just behind Victoria's Secret. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to QV and 20 minutes to walk to the University of Melbourne. There is staff on duty at the ground floor in the evenings, which gives a sense of security. The equipment in the basement gym is in great condition and can meet daily needs.

The internet speed is poor, and not only does it lag while gaming, but other activities also lag. The soundproofing is bad; you can hear someone yell. Everything else is fine; there are three free laundry services and three drying services every week; the apartment has many activities that you can participate in, such as taking second-hand items left by previous tenants for free.

There are public areas on the 11th floor, and the apartment also hosts some activities. Behind the apartment, there's a market that has a night market every Wednesday, which is worth checking out.

The location is very convenient, near Wima + Qiguan Garden.

Optional room number: Laundry and drying service three times a week for free; 24-hour gym.

The sound insulation is very poor. It's really awful to encounter neighbors who yell loudly while playing games in the middle of the night. My neighbor is particularly loud, and it’s always after midnight. The security guard has reminded him, but he never changes. During this time, I have been falling asleep to the sounds of him falling down and groaning.

Of course, if you encounter noisy neighbors at night, you can contact the security downstairs. The security will go knock on his door to remind him to keep the noise down, but whether the neighbor actually changes depends on his personal quality.

Aside from the poor sound insulation, I personally think everything else is quite good.
