A pretty nice apartment, very quiet and suitable for introverts There are only studios, and living alone is very comfortable Compared with Depot, the facilities are slightly older, and the heating needs to be turned on manually for three hours. Other than that, everything else is great

The apartment environment is decent, and the staff are very friendly and handle issues fairly promptly. However, the soundproofing is relatively poor. The apartment is not very new; there is quite a lot of storage space in the room, but the layout is average, and there are many mirrors.

The kingfisher's greatest advantage is its 24-hour reception, which is extremely friendly for me who can only arrive at dawn, and the speed at which things are handled is also very fast; it took no more than 10 minutes after sending an email to the front desk for someone to arrive.

The front desk of the dormitory is really great, they will quickly resolve any issues after communication. The dormitory frequently holds various activities and also makes an effort to prepare Chinese food. The soundproofing of the dormitory is indeed not very good, and there might be some noise from upstairs and downstairs. But overall, this dormitory is very quiet. It is very close to Zhongchao and St. Luke's campus. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to the main campus, which is a bit farther. Overall, this dormitory is quite nice and not as bad as what is said online.

Because the disco is downstairs, it can be a bit noisy at night. Moreover, the mattress that comes with the apartment is too soft. Overall, it's not bad; the surroundings are very convenient, about a 22-minute walk to the main campus of the university. There is also a bus on the return trip.

The front desk staff are very friendly, and the laundry room is quite nice with super nice prices! So far, this is probably the cheapest place in A Village. The room has plenty of storage space, and the facilities are fairly complete. The warranty service is also handled quite quickly. However, the sound insulation is a bit poor, and the first-floor social public area is slightly small and has shorter opening hours.

Overall, life is still very convenient apart from the traditional door key; there is a supermarket and a hypermarket downstairs, and it's a 15-minute walk to school.

It is very close to the China Supermarket and the city center, with a vegetable market (Turkish supermarket) and a supermarket (Tesco) right downstairs. There are many Chinese international students in the apartment, and there are also many student apartments nearby. Additionally, there is a common room downstairs, which is great for making friends~

The sound insulation is not particularly good, but the service facilities are undoubtedly great. The young lady at the front desk is very kind as well. During holidays, she will even give you candy and hold various activities.
