Well the compound was one example of where Yuncheng IELTS did not provide a self contained apartments with a kitchen, laundry etc. There were other examples where foreign teachers were dumped into accomodation whereby they had a room off a courtyard house and had to share a kitchen and laundry with a random Chinese guy who liked to bolt the door into the courtyard. There was no toilet in the courtyard so the ft was expected to make use of a public toilet outside of the courtyard. So this arrangement definitely could not be described as a nice apartment whereby the ft could live like an adult. So basically when approaching Yuncheng IELTS like any other employer you have to be prepared that they will sell you short with accomodation that is below what is stated in the contract.
