The intermediary sister is very warm-hearted and nice, patiently answering every question and responding quickly. On the first day I arrived at NCP, I was greeted by a broken toilet → the start was quite awkward, but during this process, the intermediary sister kept helping me and was in contact with the apartment staff to get the toilet repaired as soon as possible (everyone knows the speed of the British). She was always thinking of ways to help me!

The room has poor lighting, the elevator is broken, making a loud alarm sound, and there are many bugs outside the window. The bed is small and not worth £310.
