The location is perfect. Being in the city center provides incredible accessibility to bars, restaurants, and both the bus and tram stations. It’s ideal for shopping at Aldi, ASDA, Home Bargains, B&M, and Dunelm. The convenience of having every essential amenity within walking distance makes it an unbeatable spot for modern living.

Couple of things. 1. The contract is generic. I am getting one month rent free because it's 12 month contract but it's not mentioned in the contract which made it but confusing in start. 2. I still don't know if TV licence is included or not. The staff said it is but contract says otherwise. Apart from that, I can't complain. I am loving it here
