Very good, a pleasant experience!

I live happily with free little corn chips to eat. The price-performance ratio is very high, happy.
YU**
The location is very convenient. The amenities are convenient, and there are many supermarkets nearby.
WU**
The amenities are great, the internet speed is fast and very convenient.
JIAN**
It's very quiet around, the front desk is very friendly, but it can get quite hot on the higher floors with the windows closed.
ZHAO**
The room is well-equipped, the wardrobe is large enough to hold many clothes, and the bedside tables and desk drawers have a large capacity as well. The chairs provided are wheeled for easy movement. The windows need to open inwards and the opening is rather small; when it's windy, you can hear the sound of the windows banging. Additionally, my room is located above a road, so sometimes the sound of fast-moving vehicles comes in when the window is open. The shower in the bathroom cannot be detached for use, but there is plenty of hot water. The light in the shared kitchen is voice-activated and sometimes turns off automatically without any sound. It is also equipped with a bar-style dining table and chairs, and it would be better if the table were a bit larger. There is a sofa and TV nearby for entertainment. Overall, it is a good accommodation choice.
FENG**
The house is a good house, but inevitably, the foreigners still make noise until one or two in the morning.
LI**
Travel is very convenient, there are many shopping malls and buses nearby.
ZHANG**
The location is slightly far from the main campus.
