I lived here from September-June for my second year of Uni and really enjoyed it. The staff are wonderful and really accommodating. The flats are comfortable and the location is actually good too. Having an ensuite is lovely and the fortnightly cleaners for the communal areas are thorough. Maintenance team are also good. The kitchens and bedrooms are comfy and spacious, with good facilities for housing 6 flatmates, like two sinks, 6 hobs, two fridges. The flats are well-insulated and warm. The building is tucked away behind houses far from the main road so it's really quiet and peaceful, with some nice views, but just minutes from Seven Sisters station too. It's well-connected to places like Tesco, Sainsbury, and hundreds of shops down High Road like TFC. I used the gym at Finsbury Park as the Victoria line is so fast and frequent, and my commute into UCL was 32 mins. The only cons are the fact that it's pricey-ish (£197 p/w for 6 months, £149 for 10) and located in Zone 3, meaning higher rates of travel and also practically no chance of getting into central on anything but the tube. Washing facilities are also expensive. But otherwise, the place is peaceful, well-maintained, well-managed, well-connected, hassle-free. The wifi is excellent, staff are lovely, water temperate in the taps is also brill. The desk space is amazingly big and perfect for studying. I found it a really pleasant year.
