If I have to reflect back, I had a great experience living at Fulham Palace Studios. They are now under the management of Homes for Students; rooms have a fresh look and are very spacious. The building manager is very friendly and open to help in every situation. I had a few situations, but both the team at Home for students and the manager were happy to help. I did see a mouse once, but honestly, it's the UK; they're everywhere. After notifying the manager, he brought contractors to take care of the situation and never saw one again. I hope they keep up the effort. Overall, very good and helpful staff!!
