The facilities are new and visually comfortable. I like this room type very much. The toilet is very large and dry and wet are separated. The apartment downstairs is opposite a two minute walk to Sainsbury's. The bus stop is very close and convenient. Super love the decoration style and tone of this apartment!!!

There is lidl cheap supermarket nearby. It takes 6.7 minutes to walk. There are also cinemas and shopping malls. The Chinese restaurant is very close. A car at the gate goes directly to the campus. The room has an independent dishwasher, with a drying washing machine and a large refrigerator. It is really yyds, that is, the electrical appliances were not cleaned when the room was handed over, and the peculiar smell was very heavy. It took a long time to clean and disinfect yourself.
