Just a simple Chinese student comment here. I’ve been living in the abacus house for two years, here are some of the experiences based on pros and cons: 1. Super friendly and responsible staff, highly efficient all-round services and fabulous Facebook group with useful information and organised events. If anything is broken, just give them a call and it shall be fixed for free. These are the killer feature of such accommodation.牛逼就完事儿了! 2. Mike! Mike! Mike! Victor! Victor! Victor! Anna! Anna! Anna! Mikyle! Mikyle! Mikyle! (And many the others, these people are amazing) they are the hero during covid season, you can notice that the Abacus house does whatever it could to become an amazing place of keeping everyone safe and sound. 3. Great location, even better than living by the seafront, everything you need is around. Definitely worth the price. 4. You can invite friends and get the discount of booking. 5. The cash back card is better than you think, contactless feature with various accessibility. 6. The winter is too cold, cuz the radiator can only be set with a 2 hour timer, make sure you dont freeze yourself after the countdown, remember to click the timer all the time if you wanna keep yourself warm. Also the radiator makes a lot more noises than those traditional ones. 7. The summer is too hot! I’m not joking, if your window is facing towards the sun, then get ready for the hot summer sauna with no clothes on cuz you’ll know what I mean if you touch the window by that time, the corridor would be your place of coolness. Gotta thank Victor for saving my arse with a fan, he is the greatest! 8. Be aware of the machines from laundry room, if any malfunction happens, dont expect any refund. Spend your balance and arrange the washing wisely. 9. Almost every room should’ve got a filter fan next to the window, use it for generating pink noises if you think that the outside is annoying. 10. Don’t expect to find all your flatmates also coming from your university, maybe they are all from sussex, or brighton uni, so no partner for ya. 11. I am not Diggers Zhang, but you can take my selfie
