Apartment is very spacious. Very modern and well-thought for comfort and utility. Beautiful modern bathroom with under floor heating and great water pressure in the shower. Cooling system is a true blessing during the heatwave. Very clean design with a touch of modern artwork, very much like a boutique hotel. Two elevators in each building and locked indoors bike room in the basement with also parking under building. Darek and the reception were truly amazing people, very adaptable and flexible, always offering a helpful hand and a great chat! Made me feel like I’m home, truly.

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

The location is excellent, with very easy access to the city centre and almost everywhere you need to go. There are plenty of shops, stores, restaurants, and convenient facilities all around the building, which makes getting around very easy. However, the biggest downside is the noise. There is a lot of traffic noise, including constant car horns and loud sirens from ambulances and police vehicles. This can be quite disturbing, especially at night, and may affect your sleep. Overall, the location is fantastic, but the noise level is definitely something to consider

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

The best thing I can say about this building is how amazing our building manager is. He is extremely fair, reasonable, caring and approachable. He always listens carefully to any concerns or requests and makes sure to address them as quickly as possible. He genuinely cares about the residents and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I have nothing but praise for him. Without a doubt, he is the best building manager this property has ever had!

One thing I regret about this building is its proximity to the main road. There is a significant amount of noise from traffic, especially car horns and the sirens of ambulances and police cars, which can be very disturbing, particularly at night. I believe the building could have invested in better-quality, soundproof windows to reduce the outside noise. Unfortunately, this has not been addressed, and a considerable amount of noise still comes through the windows. This is definitely one of the biggest downsides of living here.
