The room is relatively small, the facilities are quite complete, and the staff is friendly. It is relatively close to the bus stop and the Adam Smith Building, and quite close to the Zhongchao supermarket. It takes about 15 minutes to reach large chain supermarkets such as Lidl and Morrison. The kitchen needs to be inspected for hygiene every month.

Public health and hygiene are very good, but you need to clean up the kitchen yourself. The location is very convenient for transportation, and there are many supermarkets nearby. The soundproofing is pretty good; once the windows are closed, there is basically no noise.

The transportation is very convenient and the geographical location is excellent, considering it is the closest student apartment to the school. However, the soundproofing is terrible, the heating stops every half hour, there is a fire drill every week, and the kitchen sanitation is inspected monthly.

The apartment is super close to the school! Although the room is not big, it is more than enough for one person to live in. A suitcase can even fit under the bed, pretty good!

I don’t know if it has always been this way or if this year’s experience is just so poor, but the internet signal cuts out every 5 minutes. There was no prior notice about the renovations. Suddenly starting renovations at 8:30 in the morning created an incredibly loud noise, and I couldn’t open the windows. On the second day of my stay, the shower drain was clogged; getting in touch with the apartment for repairs meant waiting again, so I had to clear it myself. The apartment rate isn’t cheap, and while it may have been good value in the past, I feel it’s not worth it after the price increase.
