Shopping and transportation are quite convenient. The room has some facilities that are a bit old, the heating wall is quite worn... The blinds have fallen down halfway... The heating is really hot, it started in late September, so hot~ Overall, it's not bad for the price~

I'm connected with Agni, who's been incredibly helpful, and I could tell that from our very first call. That's what made me choose Uhomes to book my accommodation. Unlike most agents who keep spamming, he did not bother me during the period between our initial call and when I decided to move forward. He waited until I got back with a decision for quite some time. Thereafter, I got on multiple calls with him to clarify every small doubt, and he took the time to explain each in detail. Even via e-mail and WhatsApp conversations, he is very prompt and always gives quick responses. Also, I don't have to follow up on anything. I am updated on all the progress without asking, especially after booking my property. I have had a great experience so far!
