Overall the area is pretty good with great connectivity to central London via tube station which is like 2 minutes away from the building . Everything is good with great restaurants and stores

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

Building management is excellent they solve every issue quickly and efficiently. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel comfortable and welcome. Whenever I had any issue I deal with Mr. Samson Lopez Miranda who helped me get this flat at fizzy since then he solves all my issues and queries he has been a great help and he is very professional and reliable.

The area exceeds my expectations! There are numerous supermarket (Savers, Lidl, Morrisons, Co-Op, Tian Tian Market) Gyms (Fitness4Less, The Gym Group) and general food/drink nearby! Not only that, Canning Town is a 5 minute walk, and a bus stop right in front of the property. It’s amazing! I like being in a busy street because it makes me feel much safer at night with little alleyways etc. The only downside I’d say is availability of parking, but we do pay an additional fee (quite expensive!) every month to park in the basement of the property.

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

We raised a ticket about our bathroom extractor fan not being turned on around 9pm and Paul from the management team replied at 7am the next morning. Insanely quick and helped us locate the switch by mid afternoon! The turnover was so impressive and he even helped us explain a few other questions we had about the flat. I’m so happy with this service!

Good: - Great building management - Quick and efficient customer service (Shout out to Samson & Paul) - Modern apartment - So close to transport (CT station, bus stations etc) - Supermarket, gym and food options galore!!! Bad: - Minimal / Expensive parking - Potentially noisy in certain apartments facing the motorway (luckily ours doesn’t so not bad)

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

The local area is excellent to live it, it feels safer relative to the rest of London. There are cafes and coffee shops nearby and two large supermarkets within easy walking distance. The transport links are excellent to the city centre, Stratford and elsewhere.

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

The landlord has responded to queries and issues, they have responded to these in good time. Having lived elsewhere the quick replies are appreciated!

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

The area's reputation online makes the area seem much worse than it actually is. The area feels much nicer than many other parts of London.

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

There’s a good mix of nearby shops, cafes, and a varied dining scene, plus open spaces and excellent convenience since it’s right opposite the train station, with reliable buses and easy travel, but the bin disposal requires going outside which is inconvenient, and occasional traffic noise can disrupt quiet evenings. I love the convenience and the station opposite, but I don’t like having to go outside to dispose of the bin.

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

Has an issue with DD and they got to the bottom of it within a couple of hours and told me what it was for and put me at ease
