Living at BMY has been a great experience overall—the team and facilities are fantastic. The only downside is the ongoing construction in the surrounding area, which can be a bit disruptive at times. Hopefully, once it’s complete, the neighborhood will be even better!

There's a Sainsbury's right next to the dovetail block so it's very convenient! I find the location good and it's only 10 mins walk from the center.
