As a novice studying abroad for the first time, the most anxious thing before my departure was finding a place to rent — afraid of getting scammed, worried about poor communication, and concerned about the mismatch between reality and pictures. Until a friend recommended Yixiang Good Residence, the whole process turned out to be a hundred times smoother than I expected. The consultant I was assigned, Rose, is simply a treasure! She always replies in seconds. Compared to my previous confusion while aimlessly browsing rental websites, having someone backing me up feels incredibly reassuring! The actual apartment matches the description perfectly, and the platform's photos and videos are completely free of "false advertising!" I stumbled upon the platform's cashback promotion, and I received extra cashback when I booked the apartment; it was truly a pleasant surprise. I must strongly recommend it!

I had a wonderful experience with Uhomes. From the initial inquiry to finalizing the lease, the team was consistently responsive, professional, and genuinely helpful. They provided clear guidance on local rental procedures, helped me navigate documentation requirements, and even offered insights into the surrounding area that made settling in much easier. Also, their cash back program really helps me on my financial stability on the long run.

I was in a risky situation just a week before departure. It’s fortunate that uHomes helped to process the housing arrangements supper quickly. I got the tenancy agreement on time for moving right after I arrive London. Thanks the team for your great professionalism!

The cost-performance ratio is very high, and the front desk staff are enthusiastic and friendly. However, the sound insulation is not very good.

The surrounding is very convenient. You can apply for a mobile phone card and buy a mattress. There are many supermarkets. The smoke alarm in the room does occasionally sound, but it is very convenient for a few seconds. There are many sockets. Only on Sunday afternoon the front desk is closed. It's there until twelve o'clock, but I'm not sure if it's later I haven't seen it

I had great support from the company. Any arising problem is resolved in a timely manner. The support team was 6 hours apart, but they did their best.
