The room is well-equipped with facilities, has ample lighting, and hot water is available at all times. Security is very tight, with multiple access controls to enter the room, and there are closed-circuit cameras monitoring 24 hours a day. It is close to the train station, making transportation very convenient.

When I first moved out, I thought it was quite poor, but after living in other apartments in Liverpool, I feel this one is quite good.
1. Good location, close to supermarkets and train stations.
2. The staff are friendly and responsible; they always email me when a package is delivered, I thought all apartments did this.
3. The apartment app is useful; I can complain about noise issues.
The downside is that the sound insulation is not very good, and the room is relatively old.

I lived in GC for a year, and my biggest impression is that life is really convenient. Tesco and Lidl are just downstairs, and it only takes a few steps to get to the city center. The only drawback is that it can be noisy, and going to school requires walking up a big hill. But it really is convenient.

Disadvantages: The house is not as new compared to apartments that are 20 years old, and the school is far away, especially from the South Campus. It takes about fifteen minutes to get to Litu and about half an hour to get to Wentu. If the chosen room is facing the street, living on a lower floor might be noisy due to traffic, and there may also be people making noise downstairs at midnight, as there are quite a few bars in the nearby block. Advantages: The surrounding facilities are very, very good; there is a train station directly opposite the apartment, making travel by train very convenient. There are several supermarkets downstairs, and it is also very close to the shopping area in the city center, making shopping extremely convenient. The front desk staff are responsible and very nice as well.

Just arrived in the UK and found a great place to rent through Yishang Haoyu. The service attitude is fantastic! I encountered a service lady with an extremely good attitude, it's like discovering a new world! She answered questions professionally and patiently. I've always had operational troubles, and she was able to provide solutions quickly, making me feel incredibly at ease. This kind of service experience is the best! The app is also very simple to use.

The enthusiasm of the front desk is the biggest advantage of this place. However, if the building is low on the side facing the road, there can be a lot of dust and some noise. The apartment is relatively old, and sometimes the supply of hot water may not be adequate, but the cost-performance ratio is good.
