I lived in Exeter for a few years as a student and Printworks was by far the nicest, most well-equipped, and best-value place I rented. I moved in as a final-year undergrad knowing no one but it had a great community and I met some wonderful people. I only wish it had been built when I started university! Great facilities, location, and lovely staff.
