Urbanest Student Accommodation

I moved into my new student digs about a week ago now. This isn’t the first time I’ve moved out of home, and it isn’t the first time I’ve been living in a specialty student place (hello boarding school), but Urbanest is definitely a different experience.
First of all the communal areas are pretty snazzy. Everything is modern, there are silent study areas, places to hang out, and a great balcony with a bbq that I suspect will be perfect for entertaining in Summer.
The location is also fabulous, and yes, I was tempted to give them 5 stars just for being located next to Mamak Corner and only a short walk from Mandoo. This is my first taste of city living (in Adelaide) and I could get used to this.
The rooms themselves are pretty small. Not impossibly tiny small, you could fit a single mattress on the floor if you were having a sleepover, but not much else. The range of crockery & cutlery also isn’t quite as snazzy as they show you in the show apartment. The only real downers would be that wireless internet can be pretty darn slow, and it’ll cost you $ 4 every time you need to wash & dry some clothes.
There are activities daily, and they get plenty of deals to pass onto students.
Like I said, I’ve been here a week. I doubt my rating will go down during my 1 year stint, but there’s every possibility it will go up once I discover more things to do.
