Great location
Very good apartment stay very good
The location is very good and the apartment is well equipped.
The biggest advantage of The kingfisher is the 24-hour reception, which is extremely friendly to me who arrived in the early morning, and the speed of handling things is also very fast. After sending an email to the front desk, someone came within 10 minutes.
It belongs to the accommodation experience that I will miss very much in retrospect.
Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good
It is a very recommended platform for studying abroad and renting houses.
Very good service would choose again
Very satisfied, mainly close to major stores, convenient for daily travel
In addition to the door or the traditional key to open the door, in general, life is very convenient, downstairs there are supermarkets and super, walk to the school for 15 minutes.
