§ 01 — WHAT WE FOUNDSynthesised from 6 verified student reviews.

Great location, would recommend

Lived here for two semesters and made some of my closest friends. The social events are easy to join if you want them and easy to skip if you do not. Study roomSARAH THOMPSON · UNSW · STUDIO · 4.8

Centrally located Scape building in Ultimo, on the doorstep of UTS and a short walk to Central. Compact, well-designed studios with generous shared kitchens, study booths and a rooftop with city views.

Location is the highest-rated dimension — students consistently note the proximity to campus as a standout feature.

On safety — ★4.8 — this property rates in the top tier of NSW accommodations on the platform.

JIAYI WANG · UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY · 9 NOV 2025

Comfortable and well-managed

Good value compared with renting privately, and far less hassle — bills and internet are included. The room is compact but smartly laid out, and the location keeps me close to everything.

↑ PROS
  • Easy to make friends
  • Good gym
  • Quiet hours respected
↓ CONS
  • Noisy on weekends
  • Lifts get busy at peak times

MICHAEL KIM · UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY · 30 MAR 2026

Solid choice for first year

Everything you need is here and the convenience is hard to beat. It is on the pricier side, but if your budget allows, the time you save commuting is worth it. Staff at reception are helpful.

↑ PROS
  • Responsive management
  • Easy to make friends
  • Good gym
↓ CONS
  • Rooms a little compact
  • Limited parking

PRIYA MENON · UNSW · 11 FEB 2026

Convenient but comes at a premium

Facilities are modern and well looked after. The gym and study spaces are a highlight. WiFi can dip during peak times but it is fine for streaming and most coursework.

↑ PROS
  • Safe environment
  • Bills and WiFi included
  • Walking distance to transport
↓ CONS
  • WiFi slows during exams
  • Noisy on weekends

TOM NGUYEN · MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY · 23 SEPT 2025

Good value for what you get

Settling in was easy thanks to the welcoming community and the events in the first few weeks. The shared spaces are sociable without being chaotic, and quiet hours are mostly respected.

↑ PROS
  • Bills and WiFi included
  • Walking distance to transport
  • Helpful reception
↓ CONS
  • Waitlist for studios
  • Laundry can be crowded
