Majid demonstrated highly efficient and professional work performance. He quickly identified and resolved the bathroom issue in my room, completing the repair smoothly and effectively. His technical skills and positive attitude made the entire process easy and stress-free. I truly appreciate his prompt assistance and excellent service. And Yimin is a very kind and warm-hearted reception. He promptly followed up on my issue, contacted the maintenance staff, and helped translate the problem clearly and accurately. His enthusiasm and professionalism made a big difference, and he was able to assist me with many issues efficiently. I truly appreciate her help and positive attitude!!!

A Wonderful Year at Silk Mill – Four Stars! I would rate my year-long stay at Silk Mill from September 2023 to August 2024 with four stars. Here’s why: 【Pros】 1. Convenient Location: Silk Mill is ideally situated near Lidl and Sainsbury’s, making shopping a breeze. There’s a pharmacy right across the street and easy access to bus routes 1, 34, and 35, which makes commuting to the university and city center very convenient. I also love its proximity to the canal, where I enjoyed many leisurely walks. 2. Spacious and Clean Common Areas: The common areas at Silk Mill are spacious and well-maintained. I have celebrated Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival at the coffee bar with friends. The study area is also a favorite of mine, where I’ve spent numerous hours writing essays, reading literature, and studying with friends. 3. Friendly Staff: The staff here are always warm and welcoming. I was particularly touched by the festive atmosphere during the Spring Festival; the entire apartment was thoughtfully decorated, making it feel like home. Additionally, the staff was incredibly helpful when I needed assistance with trash disposal while I was away on a trip. 【Personal Experience】 1. Studio on the Ground Floor: My ground floor studio came with a large fridge (perfect for stocking up!), a washer-dryer which is crucial for me, and a dishwasher that I used as storage for pots and pans! The bathroom is twice as big as those in typical apartments, and the wardrobe with a mirror is impressively large. 2. Room Orientation: My room faces the sun, so during summer, I had to keep the curtains drawn and use a fan to stay cool. Fortunately, the air conditioning in the common areas was always on, providing a nice escape from the heat. 【Cons and Suggestions】 1. Waste Management: There was a period when the garbage room was quite messy, which was a concern for all residents. 2. Breakfast Misrepresentation: Initially, the promise of a free breakfast attracted me, but it turned out to be just energy bars and cookies for the first few weeks. I would suggest not using this as a selling point anymore, as the amenities like the washer and dishwasher are attractive enough. 3. Maintenance Issues: Sometimes, the response time for in-apartment repairs and the maintenance of the communal printer could be improved. Living at Silk Mill truly felt like home, and I’ve made great friends here. Whenever I spoke to my parents, I would say “I’m home” rather than “I’m back at the apartment.” Thank you!

He is always there and willing to offer help.

I had a great experience at Silk Mill. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, especially Kieron, who went out of his way to help me with a chair issue quickly and professionally. The response was efficient, communication was clear, and the overall service felt very caring and student-focused. Really appreciate the support and would definitely recommend Silk Mill to others!
