Because I rented a house relatively late, there were fewer good housing options. I searched several rental intermediary platforms, and finally chose Yixiang Haoju, which provided an excellent experience. The same property on Yixiang Haoju had more comprehensive information, including details about room area, orientation, floor level, and surrounding environment, etc. Everything you want to know is described in detail. I had many requirements for the property, and I am very grateful to Consultant Mandy for her patience in answering all my questions, responding very promptly, even during her break time. She helped me find a satisfactory property, and the subsequent contract and payment processes were detailed and clear. Thank you to the Yixiang Haoju platform and thank you to Sister Mandy.

Nishimura is very close to the school, and staff regularly come to clean the public areas. The view from the 10th floor facing the school is amazing, and the nearby supermarket and train and subway stations are very close, making it very convenient!

24-hour comprehensive service, super awesome! I arrived at the apartment just after 11 PM, checked in immediately, and even had my online shopping package collected, allowing me to settle into my room at midnight with the online bedding and comfortably spend my first night in Glasgow, UK. Thank you to the apartment and the staff!

Renting an apartment in Xicun through Yishang Good Residence has been a very satisfactory experience overall! The property information is true and reliable, completely consistent with the images displayed on the platform. The room layout is reasonable, with ample storage space, and the independent bathroom and floor-to-ceiling windows make living very comfortable. The surrounding area is convenient for daily life, with supermarkets, cafes, and bus stops within a 5-minute walk, and the school is only a 15-minute drive away.
Customer service responds promptly and assists throughout the contract details, quickly helping to resolve any property issues after move-in. The overall cost performance is extremely high, making it suitable for international students seeking convenience and safety. I recommend booking through the platform, it's worry-free and reliable!

I really love this place, Nishimura. There are two British supermarkets and two Chinese supermarkets, and there are so many Chinese students around, which gives me a great sense of security! My sister Maggie, who is in charge of me, is also fantastic! She is responsible and answers all my questions!

Downing West Village FAQs
The online system is asking me to "make a payment immediately." What does this mean?
Don't worry. This is the step for binding your card. By clicking "Pay Now," you are only submitting your details to the secure payment gateway of the card processing center. Payment will only be made on the specified date, and the full amount will not be charged on the day of booking.
How to pay rent?
The apartment supports two payment methods: guarantee card automatic deduction or bank wire transfer.
1. Guarantee Card Automatic Deduction
On the payment deadline, the apartment will automatically deduct the rent from the guarantee card you have linked according to the payment schedule. Please ensure that there are sufficient funds in your guarantee card on the payment day and confirm that the issuing bank of your guarantee card supports this transaction.
2. Bank Wire Transfer
If your guarantee card cannot be used for rent payment, please proceed with a bank transfer in advance. Before making the payment, communicate with your bank to confirm what materials you need to bring for the wire transfer and make sure to bring the corresponding documents. Additionally, please ask the bank to assist you in calculating any intermediary fees to ensure the full rent amount is received. Be sure to use the bank information provided by the apartment for your payment (if you have not received the apartment's bank account information via email and intend to use a wire transfer to pay rent, please send an email to the apartment in advance to obtain the official payment details). Also, add the appropriate reference information. Please do not trust any third-party payment accounts, and finally, ensure that the full rent amount is received, and send the remittance slip to the apartment for account verification.
