The last senior recommended toybox, I booked one decisively. First of all, the location is very convenient, five minutes' walk to the city center. Secondly, the apartment facilities are complete, there is a gym, coffee shop, laundry, printers and so on, the daily needs can be met. Finally, the most important thing is that the accommodation is quite good, each room is equipped with infrastructure, as well as a vacuum cleaner. Living in tb will also give gifts to households on New year's Day, and problems can be properly resolved on the same day. I am very satisfied with this!

It’s worthy to order this nice apartment. The stuff and reception are kind to help us with everything and react to our problems fast. There are also sufficient equipments in the room and public activity space such as gym and laundry room. It is convenient for us to travel everywhere and we could get what we need in the supermarket nearby(5-10 minutes' walk). It is safe here and comfortable with everyone.

Thank you so much for your nice comment, very encouraging.
Let's start with the quality of the apartment. It is just topnotch. The modern built is spacious and integrated pretty well. Each room has its own wifi router, which is super fast. It is very peaceful. I really like the gym on the ground floor, as I workout often. The security is spot on as no one can access building, elevators and other facilities without key card. The view from my room is beautiful. Tesco is just a minute away.Even during such critical circumstances (covid), they have gone above and beyond to make sure everything is safe. Overall, I am a 100 percent satisfied with the building and the apartment.

Thank you so nuch for your nice comment, very encouraging, we really appreciated.
It’s a perfect apartment which is worth to order.cause the stuff and reception are very enthusiastic and can solve our problems immediately.We also have sufficient equipment,gym ,lundary room are opening for us. Also ,we don’t need to pay the bill by ourselves,it’s contained in the rent.

Thank you so much for your kind review, very encouraging.
I have been really happy with the welcome I have received at the Toybox, having chosen the property as a safe and comfortable home for an intense year of study. The team are consistently friendly and always up for a chat! I have been particularly impressed with the speed at which any maintenance issues are processed and dealt with - any minor problems I have had with my room have been dealt with swiftly within 2 hours of reporting. The facilities are fantastic, I really value the use of the gym and study area as a break from my room. I have also found the team very responsive to any suggestions I have for improvement. If you are looking to invest in accommodation conducive to facilitating a productive and hassle-free year, I would highly recommend!
