    Clean, modern, and well-maintained. The staff was helpful and made everything easy. A great space for staying or working--would recommend!

These lets are never honestly advertised and the landlords are rarely decent. As students, my friends and I let our first house through homes4u and had an awful experience. I would definitely say that homes4u put their profits ahead of the comfort and safety of the students living in their 'managed' properties. The houses we viewed in our second year of uni were all with homes4u, because we wrongly assumed that the most advertised estate agents would be the best, and they were all horrible. The standards at homes4u are clearly very low, because we viewed some really nasty houses, one with black damp mould covering the entire living room ceiling and a bathroom that was rotten. We ended up in an OK house, but with the worst landlord ever. I really felt that homes4u totally side with the landlord, because they own the property and hold the cards. Our landlord would 'pop in' three or four times a week, totally unannounced, and got us to cancel our direct debits so he could come round and collect our rent as cheques or cash. As four girls we felt really threatened and uncomfortable, and homes4u paid absolutely no attention to our complaints. In the end, one of our number dropped out and we were in the process of looking for another housemate for her room, when our landlord evicted us and kept a lot of money from our deposits. Again, homes4u did not want to hear about it. Unless you're ready to fight against laziness and bad property management, steer clear.

    I had read some bad reviews of Shepherd Gilmour online, but had unfortunately fallen in love with a…read moreflat they were marketing. I now wish I'd kept looking. After I moved in, I found that the gate to my "secure parking spot" had rusted over and it took them nearly two months to repair it and send out a replacement key. More than annoying considering the flat was in the city centre of Manchester and parking on street is prohibited between 8am - 8pm unless you pay for it. On top of this whilst living in the property the locks were changed on the gate as part of routine maintenance, however I was not provided with a new key for a further two weeks. I had numerous issues with the plumbing and lack of hot water at my flat, whilst the majority of these were sorted speedily, two months before moving out I had a problem with the plumbing backing up. Shepherd Gilmour sent round a handyman NOT a plumber who proceeded to knock three massive holes in the bathroom wall and use my personal property ( a couple of towels and a facecloth) to mop up the foul smelling water that poured out. The handyman then departed leaving these scrunched up on the floor as a lovely welcome home gift for me. I dealt with all of this with as much good humour as I could muster, however upon moving out I was sent an email stating that I had not informed the agents in good time that I was due to move out (despite several emails and about 30 phone calls saying that I was not renewing my tenancy) and that there would be a charge for the several days it took to find a new tenant. They also charged me with a cleaning bill despite the fact that I spent an entire day cleaning the flat and REPAINTED it before moving out. (a year earlier I had repainted it upon moving in after they had told me that repainting the flat would incur an extra £25 a month increase to my rent!!!) I'm still hoping to get my deposit back, but honestly I very much doubt I'll see a penny of it from them. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!

It looks like a 5 star hotel from outside and gives tough competition to Hilton as far as the height of the building is concerned (Of course if the rooms were like Hilton then the students living there would have to be billionaires). I have been here so many times, yes I still have tons of friends who are students (Thankfully post grads, no I don't hang out with teenagers and I am not a pedophile). My friends live on the 29th floor and the view is absolutely breadth taking and their flats look nothing like student flats I lived in. The flats are while, with modern furniture, bean bags, central heating and they have a cleaner every week (how I wish I lived here). They are 2 bedroom flats, more like modern apartments but there are also studios available. There is a gym and common room in the ground floor too besides a super fancy lift! The price is not much higher if you compare it to other post grad accommodations in Manchester and the location could not have been better! Seriously its located right in the center of oxford road, near all the pubs and walking distance to the university as well as city center (what more does a student need?) Verdict: Definitely the best student accommodation I have ever seen!
