Great value for the central location to everything.
This is an affordable city centre option for short term stays. The University of Birmingham is a 15 minute train ride, and Bullring shopping and the Jewellery Quarter are within 10-20 minutes of walking. There's lots to do and see nearby, and the overall

Self-maintenance allows for lots of privacy.
Another benefit to renting an apartment space rather than a hotel room is the considerable difference in privacy. You can take care of everything at your own pace, and do what you want without it revolving around curfews, staff, and of course other guests
Negative Reviews
negative:
Street noise can be disruptive to peace and quiet.
