It would be even better if we could check in on the weekend.

Good location, close to the school, recommended for staying.
LIU**
Better than expected, it has a very Eastern home feeling, I quite like it. Although check-in is not available on weekends, the keys were handed over to a senior, and I was able to check in smoothly. The surrounding environment is quite quiet, and the supermarket is convenient. The internet speed feels a bit laggy for video calls sometimes. The apartment management staff are quite friendly. The customer service staff on the website are also very dedicated and have done a lot of work.
ZHAN**
Overall not bad, this price range offers good value for money.
YANG**
The area is very living-friendly. Tesco and Sainsbury were just downstairs, very convenient to buy food and drinks. There’s also a bus stop right next door, where I take the No.68 to all my campuses.
LIU**
The environment is great, the service is good, and there is a supermarket downstairs which is very convenient.

The experience is quite good, and the surrounding environment is nice and convenient.
