City Edge, Manchester

Had an amazing experience while living here last year. First of the location is ideal where it takes only 5-10 mins to go to Piccadilly Station, 20 mins to city centre, 10-15 mins to both universities. The rooms are also refurbished to a good standard and contain all the required amenities. In addition, the accommodation team is very helpful regarding any queries and any issues were resolved promptly. Finally, the price is very reasonable compared to other student accommodations in the area making it a great place to stay as a student.

Perfect location for students, only a 15 minute walk to MMU, 10 minutes to Picadilly station and around 20 to the centre. The flats itself are very homely and don't feel like your typical student halls. It's nice and quiet and the staff is lovely! If anything needs fixed or replacing it gets sorted straight away. There is a washing machine in the kitchen which is incredibly handy, TV's in all the bedrooms and kitchen. The flats are furnished with a kettle, toaster, microwave and vaccume. However you need to bring you're own iron. The bedrooms are nice and spacious, 3/4 bed with plenty of storage and shelves. The rooms get painted every summer so you can hang stuff on the walls with no issue! Overall the price is definately worth it!

Best place to stay if you want to make your friends in UoM halls jealous. Spacious flats and wonderful management. They’re friendly and quick at fixing any issues. We recently had an issue with our wifi and Jonathon was at our door with a wifi technician within an hour, which is unheard of at any other accommodation I’ve seen. Location is perfect too, it’s a short walk to the universities as well as central Manchester, and has good public transport links too. A washer dryer in the kitchen and TVs in each room are included which is great, you’ll just need a fire stick or something similar to watch Netflix etc. I was worried about the noise of the main road when I first moved in but the bedrooms facing the road have an extra glass screen across the window, generally a much quieter building in comparison to uni halls. It really feels like a home away from home :)

This accommodation is perfect for students wanting to live privately or with friends that’s near the city centre and both universities! I applied here very last minute and the workers were so lovely and guaranteed me a room! It is in a perfect location near Piccadilly and and easy walk to the universities which is nice and safe. The rooms are very spacious with a double bed, tv, desk, wardrobe, bedside table and more… but the best part is you can request any furniture when you move in and they bring it in super quick. One of the best parts about living here is the instant replies and help you get from the workers, if you have any problems or need something fixing they’re on it like a car bonnet. Also, they let you put up things on the walls which is amazing:) I am a nursing student constantly on placement so the transport systems around are brilliant and the kitchen spaces are great for when I need to make meals quick but my favourite is it’s nice and quiet so I can sleep loads after a long day.

Those is a great accommodation for those who like the quite and simple uni experience. Only a short 15 min walk to Manchester metropolitan University and a 20 minute walk to the centre. Buses come quite often which is really handy. The bedrooms are very spacious and feel very homely, the maintenance are super helpful as well and you can request anything and they will try their best to help you out! (I needed a separate WiFi for my printer and it was set up within 2 hours). This is a great accommodation for friends as well. There are 3 and 4 bedroom flats so it never feels cramped. Tvs in all the rooms and a washing machine in the kitchen which has come in handy a lot.
