Ok I will be honest with my review:
I live in a Premier studio (the most expensive and biggest one) in a high floor
1-Premier Studio Condition:
In a good shape (7 out of 10) some miner scratch and marks on the walls and kitchen floor.
2-Premier studio space:
As a female, I found the overall space is "ok" for one person who is not planning to invite friends over.
There should be more dresser.
The fridge space is just enough for one person weekly food.
Kitchen drawer inadequate as there is a whole drawer unusable because it designed for the kitchen fan above the stove.
Room space is good for one person.
3.Additional home applications provided free by Iglu:
Iglu will provide you with;Vacuum cleaner, a broom, cleaning pot, iron and iron board, kettle and toaster. TV with some free channel
4-What i think the benefit of living in Iglu?
As a master student, i found Iglu very good choice for someone who is only staying for 1 year and 3 months to do their degree and go back home. This save time and money of buying furniture for apartment.
-Train station, big grocery stores "woolworth", and other shopping, mall, clinics, and banks are 3 to 10 minutes walk from Iglu. So close to everything.
-there facilities for residents such as cinema,study room.. Etc (i havent use any of them so i cant say much).
5-what disadvantage of living at Iglu:
-the A/C (air conditions) is not a real A/C! You have to options (heat or fan): it got very hot sometimes and you cant control the A/C other than turn it on or off, choose hot or fan.
-Iglu has a control system where the A/C will turn off after 3-4 hours. So every morning around 6 or 7 am , i wake up the room so hot and i have to get up, walk and turn the A/C again.
-Each person is allowed 15 G of internet per month NOT per week. There is options to upgrade to 40G,100G, or unlimited. I upgraded for unlimited for additional 60$ per month.
6- Cleaning Tips.
My studio was cleaned by the cleaning team, but to be honest. I didnt find the studio clean in some area. For example, There was mold under the bathroom sink, and there was mold on the bathroom fan and a bit on the bathroom seat, abd a little mold on the toilet seat. I re-cleaned the bathroom by myself and i removed the mold and spread Dettol "germs/bacteria killer" all over the bathroom and the whole studio floor. ((It is really really important to clean your place vey very well when you move on, to avoid any hygiene and health problem)) the person who lived in my studio before i moved on, he or she clearly very unclean person who didnt clean the studio regularly, (the mold is proof ).
Also look under the bed, i found female pants, so disgusting!! I throw it and spread some germ and bacteria killer. I dont blame Iglu for this but i blame the unmoral and disrespectful person who left her pants behind!
So for your health dont rely on Iglu team cleaning (yes they did their best) but look into invisible area and clean them. read more
