Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very central and close to transport. Sainsbury’s in building is very convenient. Bars and restaurants are nearby but still a walk (for most). The parking is tough to manage unless you pay for in building parking but if you don’t have a car it’s still good.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Our one maintenance issue was addressed as soon as it came up, and resolved above and beyond our expectations.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The apartments don’t have cooling which can be really tough in the height of summer.
Manager response
Thank you for your great review! We’re so pleased you’re enjoying the facilities, location, and support from our team.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living here is incredibly convenient, especially if you travel often, as the building is right next to the train station. The neighborhood is peaceful, quiet, and clean, making it a pleasant place to reside. Bin collection is convenient since there’s no need to walk far to dispose of trash, however, the bin collection tubes on the floor are often full and would benefit from being cleared more frequently.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management is very responsive and helpful. They answered all my questions when I moved in, and on-site staff promptly resolved a technical issue in my flat within minutes of my report.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I’d known the outdoor parking spaces aren’t for guests but are reserved for monthly parking. When my friend visited, we had to search for alternatives nearby.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Temple Meads station is so close, there's a Wetherspoons just across the river. You have a Mokoko downstairs and a Sainsburys next door. As well as several other lovely bars in the area. Everything you need is pretty close
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They've come to fix things within a few days, which is great.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The upper floors are particularly hot in summer, but I guess it's like that in any building, so be sure to bring fans and summer bedding. The couch is also terribly uncomfortable so if you have your own couch, put theirs in storage and use your own rather.
Manager response
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the location, facilities, and support from our team - especially Cosmin. We’ll also take your comments about the furniture on board.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The apartment is located in a great area with contemporary offices, a stone throw away from bristol’s main river with scenic views and only a 8 minute walk from Temple Meads. It can be quite noisy throughout the day some times as it is a busy area in general, but the quality sound proof windows do a great job of blocking it all out.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Extremely quick response with no issues going longer than 5 days and major issues fixed within 2.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I would have known more about the entertainment (i.e. the board games and cooking books available for everyone to use)
Manager response
Thank you for your great review! We’re glad you’re enjoying the facilities and local area, and we’ll pass your kind words on to Vilius and Cosmin. We also appreciate your feedback about the entertainment resources and will look at making these better known. Thanks again for your recommendation – we’re so pleased you feel at home here!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Convient location, especially for those who work close by. Good amenities within the building and Sainsbury within walking distance. Temple meads is also within walking distance. At times can hear trains when window is open and also people returning from a night out.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Haven’t had any issues so far. Therefore, I have not encountered any issues
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How central the location is to a lot of different areas.
Manager response
Thank you for your feedback and kind words about the building and our team, especially Cosmin. We’re sorry to hear the apartment wasn’t as thoroughly cleaned as expected on move-in, please pop us an email and we'd like to remedy this for you.
