Elvet is generally not as good as the previous DHH in terms of supporting facilities, network speed and surrounding environment. The apartment service is not bad. Thank you

Elvet is in the middle of the city center and the college, it is very convenient to go to the city center, and the staff are very nice. There is a large lawn at the door where you can go for a picnic in summer! The room is also very clean and the sanitary facilities are relatively new. The room is also big enough for one person
