This apartment is good value for money. It is very close to the university, and it has a balcony and a kitchen. The reception staff are also very friendly.
Clara Niña
I do recognise there are nicer places and the rooms ain’t perfect but for someone like me who is used to overpriced tiny rooms with not even space to walk around it’s great. For students definitely doable. I think people are to harsh about it. Feel free to dislike things here that’s so fair, but imma say I’m happy. Bigger rooms than at some other places. Though I can recommend to definitely have an inspection first to know what ya working with and make your own opinion.

This apartment has severe pest issues. I lived here for 9 months and was plagued by cockroaches for 3 months. Cockroaches nested in my closet and contaminated all my clothes. They crawled on the ceiling and on the carpet. The staff was friendly and arranged pest control for me, hence the additional star. However, the pest control worked poorly. 3 times the pest control people came, and still I saw cockroaches on my carpet and on the walls every day. Living with cockroaches (and rats!) every day was extremely scarring for me. I’ve lived in more than ten apartments and this is the only time I’ve seen cockroaches beyond the kitchen area. If you can’t tolerate pests, then don’t live here. There are no photos because I deleted all of them after I moved out. I understand that this apartment is in a very good location and is relatively affordable as well, so choose at your own risk.

This Student accommodation is very expensive for students. One narrow, hall room area, is all they have. I see the back rooms view, are very closed in, with 1 small, window, blinds are closed mostly, n covered. Highly needs refurnishing, should be a sliding door out to 2 foot balcony. The, left side building, windows, closed off, for privacy, to these rooms.
