Living in this student apartment is really comfortable. The room is bright with excellent natural light, and the bed is just the right balance of soft and firm—you’ll want to stay in it as soon as you lie down. The soundproofing is great. The air conditioning works very well for both cooling and heating, keeping the place pleasantly cool in summer and making it feel especially reassuring to live here. The common areas are clean and tidy, and the property management responds promptly. Overall, the environment is cozy and convenient, making commuting to class worry-free. Living here feels relaxing every day, and I highly recommend it.

Very nice apartment! The road construction has now been completed. The location is very convenient, close to QV and Chinatown, just a ten-minute walk away. The front desk is very patient, and there was no cleaning fee charged upon checkout!

The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, ensuring safety. It is a 15-minute walk to the main campus of the University of Melbourne, 20 minutes to the exam venue, 5 minutes to the State Library, and very close to the shopping mall in the city center as well as Chinatown. Life is very convenient. The downside is that the apartment has no openable windows, which might feel stuffy, and there is a 24-hour ventilation system that cannot be turned off, which can be noisy while sleeping at night. Also, there are times when the front desk may come for maintenance and open your door with a key without prior consent. If you are only studying for a short time, it's okay to rent, but for a long-term stay, it's still recommended to rent an apartment.

Find overseas properties through Yishanghaoju, and the whole experience is beyond expectation! The consultant accurately matches needs from the early stage of selecting a house, not only providing detailed comparisons of surrounding transportation and facilities but also kindly reminding about hidden clauses in the rental contract to avoid pitfalls. If you encounter minor appliance issues after moving in, they arrange repairs on the same day of feedback, and the response speed is particularly fast. The platform also provides a local life guide, with clear instructions on everything from getting a SIM card to finding supermarkets, which helped me feel less flustered upon arriving in a new country. The entire process is transparent and straightforward; I sincerely recommend it to friends in need of overseas rental housing; choosing it won't be a mistake.

On July 1st, I requested to rent a one-bedroom apartment for check-in on July 11th in a foreign place. The HAPPY young man responded quickly and patiently guided me, recommending several properties. In the end, I chose an apartment in the city center, and everything was settled within a day. The service was very attentive, and I was very satisfied after moving in.

Terrible experience. I've been living here for a month, and one of the high-rise elevators has been broken for two months without repair. Now both high-rise elevators are out of service. Living on the 39th floor means I have to climb more than 30 stairs to buy anything. The fresh air system is also broken, making the room suffocating. Even when it is turned on, there's a constant noise. Living here is just pure suffering.
