It is a studio that I rent. The place is just right for me to take it as a home office. I can do exercise at home when the weather is not right and outdoor exercise is impossible. And the stuff are all so friendly and so handy at help. They have helped with my parcels, my broken lights, my broken heater and the blocked basin. And each time when I pass by the glass office, they always smile at me and say hello. That gives me a sense of belonging and matters a lot for an international student who is normally in isolation. I hadn't tried the bar-like common room, the gym and the Friday afternoon tea event too much. but even so, the very nice and gentle stuff still left a bunch of strawberry yogurt to me. I love Abode. It's been my third year here now!

This is so kind of you, thank you for taking the time to wriite such a lovely review!
Abode has been a great accommodation for my first year living as a University student , the location is perfect for both Universities and local to countless shops. They are quick to email about any recent updates regarding the accommodation or fun activities. They’re extremely helpful and friendly and makes u feel right at home.
Thanks for the review - that's good to hear! Appreciate you taking the time to do this.
I’ve been living here for a few months now and I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Abode. The location of the site is perfect for going into town and food shopping, and is great for getting to lectures, being only a 20 minute walk from the University of York. My room is very spacious with an ensuite and the kitchen is a great place to socialise, with sofas and a telly. There’s also a gym/games room and common room onsite included in the rent, making it great value for money! Without doubt the best part of living at Abode is the team who work here. They’re all just genuinely lovely people who have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and sort out any problems. I love popping into reception for a chat with them! They also regularly host social events, such as coffee mornings and film nights which are a great way to meet other people outside of your flat. If you’re considering studying in York I would highly recommend living at Abode.
Wow what a lovely review to read. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, it's so nice to hear that the teams effort don't go unnoticed. We hope that you continue to enjoy your stay here and all the best in your studies for the rest of the year. Thanks again, Joy - Property Manager
Really good location close to supermarkets and city centre. Really nice people at the front desk can solve any issue there is.
Thanks for the lovely review - good to hear the team can resolve all issues, I feel like a challenge has been set now! :-) Thanks again, Joy - Property Manager
I have loved living at this accommodation for the past couple of months, I like having access to the common room until 10pm so I can go play pool and distress about uni work. My favourite part of the accommodation is the receptionist they’re amazing and always available to talk about anything and they are good to have a good laugh with or just to chat about any concerns you may have, couldn’t ask for a better group of people!!
Thanks so much for the great review, it's always good to hear that the hard work of team is appreciated. We hope that you continue to enjoy living here for the rest of the year too! Maybe we need to organise a pool competition!! :-) Thanks again, Joy - Property Manager
Great location, compared to other private accommodation, has the best price and good size rooms. These are the most critical factors from my view. However, there was no significant social experience last year, but considering Covid, it's understandable. Also, expect time-to-time fire alarms; it even happens during 2~3 am, and it takes time to get off
Thanks for your comments, really appreciate you taking the time to do this. You're right we did try to put certain events on last year but what we did was limited due to COVID which was such a shame. Hope all is going well for you this year :-) Joy, Property Manager
It’s a great place to live, good location, lovely staff
Thanks so much for the positive review - this is so lovely to hear :-) Joy, Property Manager
The staff is really lovely. Really put an effort into organising events and activities for students, especially during Covid. Good value for money, great location right next to the city centre.
Thank you so much for leaving a review - this is great to hear, we have certainly tried to organise some events for you all to get involved in but next year we're hoping we can do even more with more restrictions easing. Fingers crossed! Thanks again, Joy - Property Manager
Really friendly staff, Joy, Lee, Julie and Anabel They’re lovely and it is like a little family managing the accommodation. Decent Size rooms and really good location, 1 minute to the nearest supermarket
This is so lovely to hear - I'm glad that you are enjoying your stay here, we like having you here too! Joy, Property Manager
The staff at abode are absolutely incredible and are always there to help when we need it. Although I have lived here through multiple lockdowns I have still felt supported by staff and it’s great having my own little space that’s in the middle of everything I need. Perfect location and loads of opportunities to meet new people! we can finally use the facilities and they are great:))
Wow - that's great to hear, thank so much! I like that you think our little team is incredible - we do try :-) it's so lovely to hear it doesn't go unnoticed. Thanks again, Joy - Property Manager
Friendly and helpful staff, very well kept site, effort put into social spaces and activities even with the coronavirus pandemic. Great location near both the town centre and supermarkets. Would recommend to anyone
That's so great to hear, what a lovely review and thank you for taking the time to do this :-) Joy, Property Manager.
The property is excellent value for money, the best price I could find when looking for accommodation. The location of the property is really good as it’s only a 3 minute walk from the city centre. The management team are super friendly and helpful and the property is always clean and tidy. There are loads of social spaces, a common room and gym aswel as multiple outdoor areas to sit in when it’s sunny. I only gave the social experience 4 stars because I’ve not really done much because of COVID, however I’d expect that without the pandemic it would be so much better, as there’s so many friendly people around.
So lovely to read your review, thanks so much for this. It has indeed been a difficult year for social events so we'll be ramping this up next year, once we are allowed to mix again. Good to see you at the crafting event last week though - hopefully you managed to finish your flamingo board at last!! Thanks again, Joy - Property Manager
Living at Abode has been an amazing experience. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the accommodation is really close to the town centre. I would highly recommend living at Abode to anyone.
Thank you so much - great to hear you've had such a good experience while you've been here. We do try to be helpful but it's always so lovely to hear that it doesn't go unnoticed! Thanks again, Joy - Property Manager
I would really recommend living here if you’re looking for an en-suite room. My room this year was no more expensive than the university owned ones and in my opinion, is finished to a much higher standard. The bathrooms in a standard en-suite are quite small but it’s not the end of the world as the room itself is larger than I expected. The property team is amazing. There is nothing too big or too small for them to sort out for you. I would’ve loved to be able to use the social spaces more this year but COVID rules wouldn’t allow :( Extremely close proximity to the centre of town (5-10 minute walk!) About 15 minutes to YSJ university. I really got on with my flatmates and I have made friends for life, I think the social spaces in the kitchen makes it much easier for us all to socialise together. Overall, I can’t recommend this accommodation highly enough!
Thank you so much for your review - that's so lovely to hear! I'm glad you have been happy here, the term isn't over yet so let's hope that you can get involved in some events that we have coming up. You can also book the gym and the common room now but once restrictions lift again hopefully you will all be able to use it together, any queries just come and see us in reception :-) Thanks again for the great review, Joy - Property Manager
Great location for being in town but also close to the uni of York. The staff are friendly and helpful and quick in sorting problems. The rooms are comfortable. Unfortunately the gym and social area are closed currently due to the pandemic but both look great and will be good assets
Great to hear how attentive the team are, I think they are but I am biased, it's good to hear that other people think the same! Not long now for the gym to be open, it'll be lovely seeing people make use of it :-) Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on here, it's much appreciated. Joy, Property Manager, Abode
Good location，high cost-effective，and staffs are friendly
Thank you so much for your 5 star review! Really appreciate you leaving your positive comments. Thanks :-) Joy, Property Manager, Abode
The staff are really very nice～ The location of the apartment is very good, good value for money. The traffic is very convenient. The layout of the room is also what I like very much.
That's so lovely to hear that you are enjoying your time here at Abode! We love having you on site too :-) Thank you for your comments. Joy, Property Manager, Abode
The team that run abode are one of the most attentive group of people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting; fast responses to emails, constant attention to communal spaces and fast turn around time for issues that may arise. I would highly recommend the studios offered by abode for anyone that is looking to have a space of their own while at university, especially if the idea of sharing space with new people is daunting.
Wow, thanks so much - what a lovely positive reveiw to be reading. We really do appreciate you taking the time to do this, good vibes being sent back your way :-) Thanks. Joy, Property Manager, Abode
The environment is super good, and the reception service is very good. The most important thing is that it's quiet.
The environment we live in is so important, so I'm really glad you have picked up on this and taken the time out to do this review for us. Thank you and we hope you enjoy the rest of your stay with us :-) Thanks. Joy, Property Manager, Abode.
Really nice place to live. Ideal location to central York. Staff are efficient and friendly. I would recommend this accommodation as a mature student I have still settled well here.
Thank you so much for this, you pick up on a good point in regards to the accommodation not just being for the younger generation - it's for all age groups and we have such a good mix here. Really appreciate the positive review :-) Joy, Property Manager, Abode
A great student apartment with great value for money and room is very large.
Thank you leaving us a review, this is so good to hear that you have picked up on the things that we like to think are our strengths here! Much appreciated. Joy, Property Manager, Abode
Moved in in September, although feeling apprehensive at first the staff made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable. The kitchen facilities are up to date and clean. The site is very secure and has bike storage and a gym, which come in very handy. I enjoy staying here and have booked again for next year
So lovely to hear such positive comments, especially as you were feeling apprehensive. Glad you've settled in well and so much so that you're here next year too! You know we love having you about on site :-) Joy, Property Manager, Abode
My student experience at Abode has been great. I love how close we are to town and the supermarkets. The management team are very friendly and continue to keep us informed and engaged. I am very pleased with my room too, which is very important given how much time I have spent in here this year. I particularly appreciate the large desk and great wifi/ ethernet connection.
Thank you so much for the great review with lots of good detail in there! 10/10 :-) We really do hope that you'll be able to spend a bit more time outside of your room in the up and coming months, especially if the sun is out - we'll make sure we host some outside events that you can get involved in so that we can see all your lovely faces. Thanks. Joy, Property Manager, Abode.
The most amazing staff, couldn’t have lovelier people looking after us! Definitely recommend!
What a lovely message - who doesn't love to hear that their team is amazing!! Thank you so much and hope to see you soon. Joy, Property Manager, Abode.
