Ernest Place

Student Accommodation for Durham University postgraduates.

Great staff, extremely clean, COVID precautions in place.

The shared spaces are amazing and are currently available for use fallowing the current government guidelines for covid.
The staff are all very friendly and helpful with any questions and plan fun activities for residents like a free milkshake bar.
I have never moved into a room as clean as mine was (and I'm very picky about cleanliness). They must have hired a full team of people to clean each room.

The accomodation offers move-in packs that contain everything to stock your kitchen which can be booked online. I didn't use the service, but I thought it would be perfect for newly arrived international students.
The large tesco, Aldi and Lidl are within 5 minutes walking of the apartments (also a cute Chinese noodle takeout place that looks amazing)

Some cons:
Induction stove - studio rooms only (presumably for fire safety)
Convection oven - studio rooms only (the instructions are on the housing app, I've been able to bake pies and cookies in it fine)
Far from the city center (about 20 minute walk)
There is a bus stop right behind the apartment which I recommend using to get to the library (a 30-45 minute walk), but the buses don't always arrive on time
