Although it's a bit far from the school, it's located in the city center. There are supermarkets right downstairs, and it's a 10-minute walk to the train station. Life is really very convenient. The apartment facilities, internet speed, and service efficiency are all very good. I recommend staying here.

It's pretty good because it's in the city center, but it's a bit noisy around. The apartment has been under construction for the last three months, making it inconvenient to open the windows.
