4.0

This apartment is pretty centrally located in London and is also very close to Aldgate East Underground Station, about a 5-minute walk away. It’s quite convenient for getting to both UCL’s main campus and the School of Management. There are many supermarkets and Chinese supermarkets nearby, as well as internet cafés and arcades. The apartment’s on-site gym facilities are enough for basic workouts. There is also KTV and game consoles, and the common areas all have air conditioning. The internet speed is pretty good, and playing mobile games or watching videos is usually very smooth. The staff are also very friendly, and the apartment often hosts various events. The only downside is that the door isn’t very soundproof, so sometimes you can clearly hear doors closing and people talking loudly in the hallway. The best part is the rooftop terrace on the top floor, where you can see the old financial district, and the sunset view is especially beautiful.

Sure, the gym is not great, but it’s okay. However, there is a gym next door with a swimming pool and a spa. Friends who are interested can check it out.

I was just trapped in the elevator for two hours. Do not live here under any circumstances—the elevator breaks down very easily and has already trapped people inside several times. There was absolutely no signal or air, and it felt extremely suffocating. Even after something like this happened, there was no compensation, and up to now, no one has even said a single “sorry” to me. If you enjoy missing exams or interviews, then go ahead and live here.

Except that the elevator often breaks down (but it doesn't affect me much since I live on a lower floor) and the induction cooker doesn't have that pot flavor, everything else is pretty good. The facilities are quite new, the front desk staff is very responsible, and the maintenance speed is fast (but if you don't want the staff to walk into your room directly, remember to tell the front desk in advance, they will go for maintenance when you are in your room).

The room layout is okay, and repair services come relatively quickly. However, the elevator is often out of order. At the beginning of the semester, there were frequent queues for the elevator. Now, out of three elevators, only two are in operation, which is just about okay. The study room and other facilities are still pretty good, and there are plenty of supermarkets around.

The London cottage shared with my sister is quite comfortable for both of us, with a large bed. The supply of hot water and heating is good, and having the bills included is very convenient. There are many delicious places to eat nearby downstairs, and there are several supermarkets as well, all close to the bus and subway stations, making life convenient.
