This accommodation is perfect for students wanting to live privately or with friends that are near the city centre and both universities! I applied here very last minute, and the workers were so lovely and guaranteed me a room! It is in a perfect location near Piccadilly and an easy walk to the universities which is nice and safe. The rooms are very spacious with a double bed, TV, desk, wardrobe, bedside table and more… but the best part is you can request any furniture when you move in, and they bring it in super quick. One of the best parts about living here is the instant replies and help you get from the workers. If you have any problems or need something fixed, they’re on it like a car bonnet. Also, they let you put up things on the walls, which is amazing:) I am a nursing student constantly on placement, so the transport systems around are brilliant, and the kitchen spaces are great for when I need to make meals quickly, but my favourite is it’s nice and quiet, so I can sleep loads after a long day.

Best place to stay if you want to make your friends during your uni days. Spacious flats and wonderful management. They’re friendly and quick at fixing any issues. We recently had an issue with our wifi, and a wifi technician was at our door within an hour, which is unheard of in any other accommodation I’ve seen. The location is perfect too, it’s a short walk to the universities as well as central Manchester and has good public transport links too. A washer and dryer in the kitchen and TVs in each room are included, which is great. You’ll just need a fire stick or something similar to watch Netflix etc. I was worried about the noise of the main road when I first moved in, but the bedrooms facing the road have an extra glass screen across the window, generally a much quieter building in comparison to uni halls. It really feels like a home away from home :)

Had an amazing experience while living here last year. First of the location is ideal, where it takes only 5-10 mins to go to Piccadilly Station, 20 mins to the city centre, and 10-15 mins to both universities. The rooms are also refurbished to a good standard and contain all the required amenities. In addition, the accommodation team is very helpful regarding any queries and any issues were resolved promptly. Finally, the price is very reasonable compared to other student accommodations in the area, making it a great place to stay as a student.

5.0

This is a great accommodation for those who like the quiet and simple uni experience. Only a short 15-minute walk to Manchester Metropolitan University and a 20-minute walk to the centre. Buses come quite often, which is really handy. The bedrooms are very spacious and feel very homely, the maintenance is super helpful as well and you can request anything and they will try their best to help you out! (I needed a separate WiFi for my printer, and it was set up within 2 hours). This is a great accommodation for friends as well. There are 3 and 4-bedroom flats, so it never feels cramped. TVs in all the rooms and a washing machine in the kitchen, which has come in handy a lot.
