Student Feedback

Read what our students have to say about Metro and our properties.

I have lived here since August 2021, and absolutely loved living here, it is the best student property I have stayed in. It is a well managed building. All members of staff are lovely and very responsive, it really makes a difference when you have a landlord and maintenance staff that care about their tenants.
