Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The building is in a great area across from a tube station that’s well connected, 2 grocery stores, bus stops right next door, great coffee shops, and walking distance to Primrose Hill and Hampstead high street. As a woman living alone, I felt incredibly safe and had no issues at all.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building is so well run and the staff genuinely care about offering the best experience to tenants. The AC/heat work perfectly without issue and if I ever had a question on the facilities, the maintenance team responded so quickly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Couldn’t be in a better location with great amenities and a clean space. Highly recommend!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is perfect, with few steps away from the undergrounds and bus stops, across the street from Waitrose and a few minute walk to a big Sainsbury
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been incredibly responsive and proactive; they efficiently solved my kitchenware issues and even proactively provided a great heater when my room was chilly. They truly make moving overseas smooth and enjoyable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just how incredibly convenient the location is and how peaceful the building stays during the day. It is an absolute hidden gem for anyone who needs to work from home a few days a week. The quiet environment makes it so easy to focus without any distractions.
Manager response

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
King’s Cross is an excellent area to live in, with a huge choice of restaurants, cafés and shops nearby. The transport links are exceptional, making it very easy to reach anywhere in London. Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard and Regent’s Canal are also within walking distance. The area can get busy during peak hours, but overall it is convenient, lively and pleasant.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management and concierge team have always responded quickly and professionally to any questions or requests. Edson in particular has been exceptionally helpful, friendly and willing to assist with anything I needed.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known beforehand just how valuable the concierge service would be. Having such a friendly and supportive team available makes everyday life much easier, especially when settling into a new city.
Manager response

We're delighted to hear that you've enjoyed living with us and that you found both the apartment and location to be such a positive part of your stay. It's especially wonderful to hear your kind words about our concierge team and Edson in particular. We will be sure to pass on your feedback to him.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We loved the location - so many stores, restaurants and activities right outside the apartment. The bus even stops right outside the building. We loved the “in house” restaurant Alma, best breakfast in town!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We had a minor issue with the AC but it was fixed in no time. Very helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We were very happy with our stay. We were new to the UK and we didn’t know how complex it is to set up all the utilities - that was a bit of a headache and if possible we would have preferred to have it included.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This is a wonderful area to live in, full of great restaurants, places to eat and other amenities. It’s a mix of old and new - Victorian industry and the 21st century city - and it makes for an exciting mix. Transport connections are a little distant for central London, but the other positives of the area more than make up for it.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always. The one bugbear was WiFi. Turning it on and back on again never worked. It’s not powerful enough for the full flat.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Enjoy it! You will miss it when you leave. We only left a day ago and want to come back.
Manager response
Dear Diederick, Thank you for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with our community. We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time at Author and felt comfortable and well looked after during your stay. Your kind words about Sergej, Anthony, Marwha, Jakub, Edson, and the wider team mean a great deal to us. It's fantastic to know that you enjoyed the facilities, including the gym, games room, screening room, and of course those incredible views from the 11th floor. We're also pleased that you appreciated both the design of the apartments and the vibrant local area. Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the Wi-Fi. We value all resident feedback and will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our services and resident experience. We are truly touched by your comment that you already want to come back. It was a pleasure having you as part of our community, and everyone at Author wishes you and your family all the very best for the future. Kind regards, Darek
