ElementManchester is a very good choice as a residence for international students, the facilities are very new and not many people live there, the delivery and mail are well organized, the front desk staff is very kind and helpful, I rented a large studio on the 4th floor for half a year, the space is big enough and the ventilation is very good, the clothes can be dried in half a day after washing and drying in the bathroom, and the cleaning staff cleans the common areas on time, the key point is that the place is a short walk to UOM, so the daily commute is super convenient. A very trustworthy student residence. I hope the review will help students who are looking for an apartment!

Brand new accommodation in Manchester, close to universities. I am currently a Master's student and have previously lived in other accommodations in Manchester, but this one is one of the better ones. The studio is larger than average, and the building is quite small, so there is a feeling of community throughout. Yes, the reception hours are a bit short, but I haven’t had any issues as I check email regularly for updates and everything went smoothly for me. A bit pricey, but if you’re a final-year student looking for a place of your own but still want to be part of the student scene, then it’s a great place to live.
