The staff were very helpful and friendly. Made the moving in very easy and efficient. Also always had free events within the complex, such as breakfasts. It was a very enjoyable stay. The cosy and well-furnished rooms, combined with the excellent management, create a stress-free environment. It's more than just a place to live; it's a place to thrive academically and socially.

No complaints, really. The staff was really helpful since the beginning of my stay when I had health issues. When I had maintenance problems, they were solved on the same day, and the night staff was always really kind. Wouldn’t change a thing about this place. Truly the best accommodation in town.

A convenient place to live at! It's an easy commute to the universities as there are many bus stops, like Layerthrope Asda, just a couple of minutes away. There are also plenty of great restaurants and bars nearby, which are nice for hanging out on weekends.
