Plus the fridge doesn't have enough room for everyone.\nWhat I loved most is the study area. It had everything. It was silent and big and had personal study booths, common and private study rooms. It was a bit obscure, but there were personal lamps and it has 24-hour access, so for me it was perfect.\nThe common areas on ground floor near reception were a bit small and a bit obscure too, but you get used to it by time. But there are other common areas downstairs and they have the games room , private kitchens, karaoke room, cinema room.. and there is a small basic gym. For me it was enough, it also had a small yoga studio in it.\nAnd also what I loved most is the location. It was near Old Street. There is Superdrug, M&S Food, and Aldi just 10-minute walk away.

              Booking and Payments<\/strong><\/p>

              • Advance Rental Payment: <\/strong>Where required, paying the advance rental payment secures the room and serves as a commitment to the booking. This amount is credited toward the first rent instalment.<\/p><\/li>

              • Completion Deadline: <\/strong>The Tenancy Agreement must be finalised within seven days of either paying the advance rental payment or accepting the booking terms (if no advance rental payment is required). This timeframe may only be extended by prior mutual agreement.<\/p><\/li>

              • Guarantor:<\/strong> For instalment payments, a guarantor is mandatory. The guarantor must complete their agreement and submit documents within 7 days of the Booking Fee payment (or booking confirmation). Failure to do so requires full rent payment upfront.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
