IQ The Arcade - what's the environment like?

This question is directed towards those who are current or previous occupiers of The Arcade - I have visited the accommodation previously but I wanted some input from current or previous occupiers of the accommodation: how is it like there? I have been seeing reviews about rat and bug infestations and I was a bit worried about that, there were also comments about the noise and security so I wanted to have a better picture of what I am getting into if I apply to live there for the next academic year.

Question: how's it like living at The Arcade? Would you recommend it to your friends?

Thanks!

Have any of you viewed rooms at the arcade in person? Looks ok on their website but reviews are mixed
