After staying here for a year, overall it is very suitable for transition. The front desk communicates well and even reminds me when my tires are flat, helping me change them. They are very friendly and easy to talk to. The front desk is open all week, and any issues are resolved promptly with feedback on reported problems. The location is great, right next to L2 and L3, making it convenient for both going to school and shopping. The only downside is that during peak hours, there can be significant delays in internet speed, which slightly affects gaming.
