Reviews

Former tenant·2 hours ago

Nice place, Wi-Fi could be stronger

Pros

Generally happy with my stay. The apartment is in great condition, the building is quiet, and the team responds to tickets promptly. Everything else - location, cleanliness, staff - has been genuinely good.

Cons

The one ongoing issue is internet - it's inconsistent in my room and occasionally cuts out entirely. I've raised it and Outpost is looking into it. Not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning if you're planning to work from home.

Former tenant·1 month ago

Mostly positive, one maintenance issue took too long

Pros

I've been here five months and enjoyed it for the most part. Clean apartment, friendly building, solid location.

Cons

My one frustration was a shower issue that took almost a week to fully resolve - it went through a few rounds of "we'll send someone" before it was actually fixed properly. Once it was sorted, it was done well. But the timeline was frustrating. Everything else has been handled faster and I'd still recommend Outpost for flexible housing.
