  • Taro Matsushita (Review for 1-on-1 service):
    I received support from Mr. Omura again this year, just like with my previous property, and he has helped me many times throughout the process. I truly appreciate his quick responses and the smooth, efficient way he handled everything.
  • Yuan (Review for Vita Student St. Albans):
    Vita Student St. Albans enjoys a very good environment in Leeds. The staff's service attitude is also very good; coffee is available 24 hours a day, and cleaning occurs every two weeks. The breakfast is particularly delicious, with free yogurt.
  • Guo (Review for Burley Road):
    At Burley Road Leeds accommodation, the front desk service attitude is good, and the entire corridor is cleaned by a maid every week. There is also a maid who comes to tidy up the kitchen once a week. The heating in the house can be turned on and off freely. My room has carpet, making it very cozy. The bathroom is big enough, and there is plenty of sunlight. The house is also not cold, and the Wi-Fi speed is fast enough. Additionally, the apartment also has 24/7 security, and the surrounding environment is mostly student apartments, which is relatively safe. 
  • Sherry (Review for Concept Place):
    Concept Place is the most cost-effective option for law school students. It is close to the school and reasonably priced. I was worried about hidden costs, but the all-inclusive bills through uhomes.com were completely transparent. The price was exactly what was advertised.
