Frequently Asked Questions

CODE Fairfax Street offers private studio accommodation in central Coventry. We have the option of private studios, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments. Each studio has its own kitchen, bathroom, double bed, study area, storage and 32-inch TV, as well as high-speed broadband.

Residents also have access to free on-site facilities, including a gym, cinema, study and communal spaces, outdoor areas, 24/7 security and regular social and wellbeing activities.

The location is another key benefit: CODE Fairfax Street is just 150m from Coventry University and next to Pool Meadow Bus Station, with direct buses to the University of Warwick running every 7 minutes.

In short, CODE Fairfax Street combines private studio living, on-site facilities and a central Coventry location. CODE offers considerably more than simply a room in student halls.
