It’s very quiet and the environment is great. The internet speed is fast, and the front desk staff are also very friendly. It’s very close to the supermarket, and the city center is about a 5-minute walk away. The bathroom is very clean, there is plenty of natural light, the room is spacious, there are lots of cabinets, and the security is excellent.
Compared with other apartments, the room is quite spacious. Hot water is available all year round, and the heating is also very sufficient in winter. The apartment has many leisure and entertainment facilities. There are activities and free food during holidays. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, and the staff are all very friendly. The location is great, very close to the station. There is also a bus stop downstairs, and it is very close to the shopping mall and Chinatown.

This apartment needs no further explanation; first, the location is excellent, right next to Chinatown, and it's very convenient to go to the city center. Secondly, the staff attitude in the apartment is also good. Overall, the cost-performance ratio is quite high.
The layout is very good, and it's considered a relatively large space in the student dormitory. It is well-equipped, with a separation of wet and dry areas, a very long desk, and two floor-to-ceiling windows. I think it's particularly perfect, especially when the sun rises every day.
The location is excellent, the facilities are very complete, and daily life is very convenient. The room gets great sunlight, and security is well maintained. The fire alarm sometimes has issues, which can be a bit annoying, but overall it’s very good. I’ve recommended it to many younger schoolmates.

The room facilities are in good condition, travel is convenient, and there are quite a few supermarkets nearby.
The room is nice, spacious, and has large windows.
If you don't open the windows, there will be no noise. The east-facing room is on the street, while the west-facing room has a parking lot outside its window. The parking lot is quite high, several floors, and can be level with the first three floors.

Great! The apartment staff is very responsible, and the facilities are good. However, as mentioned before, the free use of the washing machine... is not available.

1. All three windows in my room are closed, and in this situation, the kitchen has no ventilation system, so cooking produces a lot of smoke.
2. The chair at the desk cannot be pulled out, making it impossible to sit down.
3. There is no freezer, only a refrigerator.

The apartment's chairs, refrigerator, and sink are a bit dirty, and the shower floor is unclean. The lighting is dim, and one of the lamps doesn’t have a light bulb. In the entire six-story building, there are only two washing machines and two dryers...
