Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great location with local shops. Morrisons nearby as well as a selection of restaurants on Hagley rd. Bus and tram stops close by, allowing for easy access into town. Also, nice walk into town. Parking available underground as well as two nearby car parks.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very well. Nicely handled with online booking system if ever required.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing much to add. Gym can get a bit busy. Limited car parking spaces underground.
Manager response

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great location - very close to city centre and plenty of cafes/bars/restaurants are within walking distance. Street parking is always available and there are several car parks in the area for visitors. Moses has been very helpful during our move.

Issues are logged into the app and the response is almost immediate.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The reception has a trolley you can borrow to move your things which it makes very easy and depending on where you're staying there are multiple entrances that will make the move easier.
Manager response
