I absolutely love living at Enso. Rachel, the Assistant Manager, is amazing, and every single member of staff is just as wonderful. They have such a close-knit, family-like team, and it genuinely makes the accommodation feel like home. Every time I speak to them, it feels like I’m talking to friends rather than staff — they are always welcoming, kind, and happy to help. Their positive energy and care really make a difference to my day, and I always leave feeling happier. I couldn’t ask for a better place to live or a better team to be supported by. Highly recommend Enso to anyone looking for accommodation where you truly feel valued and comfortable. read more

I moved into ENSO Student Accommodation about 10 days ago, and so far, it’s been great! The place is clean, modern, and really comfortable. The staff have been super helpful with the move-in process, and everything feels well organized. The location is also very convenient — close to shops and campus. So far, I’m really happy with my choice! read more
