A typical student apartment, with complete and usable shared facilities. The location is great. You may need some time to get used to the property management’s various procedures, but communication is still quite fast. The price is probably inflated, and the room is also especially small. If you can’t find a place, it’s still a good temporary option, but only long-term leases are available, and the rent goes up every year. Don’t have too high expectations. Once you get used to it, it’s okay—just treat it as a place to sleep. Staying there all day can feel quite depressing. If you have a lot of luggage, you should consider whether there will be enough space for it. I hope everyone can find a place and settle down comfortably.

One of the best decisions I've made since coming to China Melbourne. The facilities are truly impeccable, with a 24-hour gym, rooftop terrace, and study area that are all super practical; the internet speed is smooth for gaming or rushing deadlines, with no lag at all. The sound insulation is even better than expected, and on the upper floors, you can barely hear the street noise. The location is absolutely top-notch; just a few minutes' walk downstairs and you reach RMIT, and it's also super convenient to get to the University of Melbourne and the CBD shopping area. Living here gives you a tremendous sense of security!

It's fine, at least the experience of the whole building has no major issues in the student dormitory. The overall living experience in the dormitory is quite good, the space layout is reasonable, there are not many daily chores, it's quite worry-free, and the fire alarm doesn't go off frequently.

The location is nice and convenient, close to RMIT, and there are places to eat.

Service is average. The elevator is often under repair for a long time, and during peak hours, you have to wait a long time. Warranty services also take a long time. The most outrageous thing is that they enter your room without permission, leading to my windows being opened for two months without my knowledge, and the place is full of bugs. The manager also shifts the blame, which is disgusting and leaves me speechless. 😓

The room facilities are okay, but the hallway smells too bad and the trash is not cleaned every day!

The elevators are better than Unilodge and the rooms are a bit bigger. There is almost always someone at the front desk for 24 hours, which is much better compared to Unilodge. The only problem is that there is no large supermarket nearby; it's a bit far to go to the supermarket.

I’m very grateful having Ifa as my consultant in Uhomes supporting me searching a student accommodation when i was having zero knowledge about the city or the place to stay in Melb. She helps me a lot from the beginning until i choose Scape as my home for next 6 months. After all the issues that we went through, related to visa, location, and budgets issues at that time, she accompany me until payment was done and i secured my rent’s ownership.

The apartment overall is very good. Many staff members are very nice. There was only one time when a young lady seemed a bit impatient, but I don't know if it was due to a bad mood or something else. The apartment often holds events, but Chinese students seldom attend. Overall, it was a very beautiful memory.
