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.

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.
