Maia Garner

Ablett House

Ablett House is amazing — would highly recommend to any students thinking about accommodation in Liverpool. I’m a student at LJMU and the proximity to the university is incredible — the library is literally opposite the building. The flats are so good and the rooms are very spacious with a big kitchen and TV. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they throw events and socials all the time and I feel very safe and secure in the building.

Marybone Student Village 3

This is my 3rd year living in Marybone 3 and I cannot fault it! Amazing 24-hour security, in a very safe area and close to the LJMU campus and library. The bedrooms are a decent size with your own shower, toilet and sink. There’s a free gym on site which you can use up until midnight every day and even on weekends.”
