Dear Jenna, Hope you are doing fine today. I was thrilled to hear from you about your history course at the JNT university where I studied and am glad that you reached out to me for advice for finding a
place
to stay. Well, during my studies at that university, I lived in an apartment in West Street, London which was a two-bedroom flat along with being fully furnished located in one of the peaceful areas in London. I’ve been thinking about a few mistakes that you need to avoid which most of the students make while choosing a
place
to stay like not checking the market before choosing a
place
and ending up paying huge rents.
Also
, make sure the
place
is safe by getting a proper background check on the safety measures provided in the locality.
Moreover
, I wanted to recommend to you a few agencies which are known to provide the best places based on our preferences.
Although
, the ads in the newspapers and online sound fair, it is always better to go through an agency that provides transparency and a range of services. Attached is detailed information on the agencies. Please feel free to reach out to me and I’m looking forward to seeing you soon! Warm wishes, Farhana Jabeen
