The biggest issue is that repairs are relatively slow, but the front desk staff are very nice. The common room is on the top floor, with great views and plenty of natural light. The room is quite spacious, and most importantly, it has air conditioning, which makes it very comfortable in the summer.

The room is generally quite comfortable to live in. It has central air conditioning, and the desk is very large and great to use. The bed is fairly wide, so it feels very spacious for one person. Although the bathroom is relatively small, the functional areas are clearly divided, making it very convenient to use. Transportation is convenient; the subway station is just a one-minute walk from the door, making it easy to get anywhere. Overall, I was quite satisfied after living here for a year.

The overall environment is quite good, with two supermarkets nearby for convenient shopping, and it's also very close to the subway station. The room is relatively spacious. However, the facilities are quite old, especially the elevator which often malfunctions, and the maintenance is not timely enough, affecting the living experience.

Excellent, with convenient transportation, quiet rooms, and complete facilities nearby. Except for the elevator occasionally having issues, everything else can be said to be perfect. It offers great value for money and is a nice studio.

Great apartment with convenient transportation. The surrounding area is quiet and safe, making it very suitable for students who commute to school along the Central Line. There are three supermarkets right downstairs, which is great.

The odor from the toilet is extremely serious, and the bathroom drainage is completely blocked, making it nearly impossible to take a shower. I emailed the apartment management, and they said someone would come to take a look soon, but it has been a week and no one has come, and now they don't even reply to emails.

The laundry room system was out of order for a few days after check-in, but the staff at the front desk have been helpful in following up and it has been fixed. The toaster and TV provided in the room are very practical.
