Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

We’ve been staying at Apo Kew Bridge for six months, and the experience has been excellent. The flat was quiet and comfortable, and all the appliances worked perfectly throughout our stay. The location is great, with plenty of transport links.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

As noted above, the onsite team was exceptionally responsible and helpful—particularly Ben, who made the flat swap seamless when our original unit required maintenance.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Really nice neighbourhood and very close to Kew Gardens, we love it here.

Living in this area has been a wonderful experience. It’s very quiet and peaceful — perfect for those who enjoy a calm, relaxing environment. The neighbourhood feels safe and is great for evening walks or time outside. Parking is always available, and there’s hardly any traffic noise or disturbance. Bin collections are regular, and the street is kept clean. Local shops, cafes, and open spaces are nearby and easy to access. Transport links are convenient, making it easy to get around. Overall, everything feels just right here. I absolutely love living in this area.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management has been outstanding — any issues I’ve raised have been handled quickly, politely, and professionally. Communication is clear, and they genuinely care about making sure everything is working smoothly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known how quiet and relaxing the environment would be — it’s honestly perfect for someone who loves peace. I’d also recommend making use of the shared spaces early on; they’re great for meeting people and feeling part of the community.
