The facilities are very good in all aspects, especially the gym and kitchen space. The gym is almost the best among Manchester apartment gyms. The mattresses provided are also firm, which is beneficial for the spine. The front desk provides 24-hour service, so you can pick up packages anytime. It is quiet at night and during the day as well. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer good ventilation and lighting. It is truly a great experience.

The location in the city center has convenient living facilities, with many small supermarkets within 200 meters, including a Chinese supermarket. It is also not far from Chinatown, and public transport and pharmacies (Boots) are very close. The accommodation includes water and electricity, and internet (with good speed). There is a staff member on duty at the front desk 24 hours a day, and any queries will be answered promptly.

The new apartment is well-equipped, clean and tidy, with all essentials like an oven, microwave, vacuum cleaner, and other cleaning tools available. The apartment also has a gym, which is very clean and hygienic, with complete equipment. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a good view. There was a small issue with the bathroom before, but after reporting it, maintenance personnel came the next day to handle the repairs. Thumbs up for the response speed! 👍

One of the most challenging things about studying abroad is finding a place to live. I encountered some reliable people and agencies during the search for housing. After continuous comparisons and selections, I finally settled on renting a place at SG, which is a new building with great facilities, and the consultant responded actively. The front desk operates very efficiently. Overall, I would recommend it; the house is very cost-effective and has excellent sound insulation.

The overall experience after moving in really exceeded expectations. The most obvious point is the sound insulation, which is really much better than all the places I lived in during my three years in university. It gets so quiet at night that sometimes I doubt I'm the only one on the whole floor. The room and common facilities are all quite new and very pleasant to use, especially having a dishwasher really adds points, making daily life much more convenient. Considering the location, configuration, and price, the cost-performance ratio is truly high; it's the kind of place you move into and feel like you 'made the right choice'.

✨The room has amazing natural light. Who understands the feeling of being woken up by the sunshine every day?~ The space is ample, and the storage is king. This cluttered star finally no longer has to sleep in a pile of boxes😭
📍I really can't praise the location enough! It's a 5-minute walk to Manchester University and a 10-minute walk to the Oxford Road subway station. Tesco and an Asian supermarket are right downstairs. Lazy people & foodies are overjoyed directly🍜🛒

Downing Square Gardens FAQs

Can I change the shower head?

The apartment offers free replacement of the showerhead four times a year. You can also replace it yourself, but you need to keep the original showerhead to restore it when you move out. You can check out the previous live stream we did at the apartment!

If the refrigerator or other appliances have issues not caused by human factors during use, will the

If there is any damage, you can report it directly at the front desk, and the apartment will arrange for maintenance personnel to inspect it. However, since SG is a new building and the furniture has only been in use for about a year, the chances of the new furniture being damaged are very low. Additionally, the maintenance staff will also determine whether the damage was caused intentionally.

Currently, all the available units are in completed buildings, so students don't need to worry about the mess outside. We inspected the site and found that most of the scaffolding has been removed. The new Building D is now having its glass installed, so there shouldn't be too much noise. Regarding the formaldehyde issue, it's compliant with the standards for residents in the UK before being rented out, so there's no need to be concerned. The students who have already moved in, including those in ensuite rooms, have not reported any sound insulation problems, so it won't affect your daily study and rest.
