I stayed at this accommodation for three years, and from the very first day, they welcomed me with open arms and were always incredibly supportive, no matter the time—whether late at night or in broad daylight….My room was beautiful, and I made it my own with lights, plants, and flowers…For new students, rest assured that any issue, whether it’s with your room, shared spaces, reception, or keys, will be resolved within two days at most by a high-quality team.
