Elvet is generally not as good as the previous DHH in terms of supporting facilities, network speed and surrounding environment. The apartment service is not bad. Thank you
Quiet environment, good location, close to the city center
Very good, the number of fire alarms is relatively large, and the network speed is average.
The surrounding environment is very good, the apartment service is also very good, it is worth recommending!
The environment of the apartment is very good, except that the fire drills are too frequent
The environment is very good, not noisy. But a bit far from the city center
Nice nice nice nice nice nice
Living in Elvet has a very good experience~
The surrounding environment is very good, the supporting facilities are relatively complete, and the front desk service is warm.
Elvet is in the middle of the city center and the college, it is very convenient to go to the city center, and the staff are very nice. There is a large lawn at the door where you can go for a picnic in summer! The room is also very clean and the sanitary facilities are relatively new. The room is also big enough for one person
