Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of living at The Point. We're really pleased to hear that you found the facilities spacious, modern, and well-maintained, and that both the property and building management teams provided a high standard of service during your stay. It’s great to know that the co-working hub proved to be a useful addition for you, and that you enjoyed the convenience of our location close to shops, bars, and restaurants. We’re sorry to hear about the delay in resolving the kitchen works before your move-out. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify areas where we can improve. Thank you again for your honest and helpful review, and we wish you all the best in your next home.

A great location to start your journey in Aberdeen

Angelina (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Point, AB10

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

The Point is in a great location as it is in the middle of the city centre. Union Square - where most of the shops are located is a 10-15 minute walk and Bon Accord Shopping Centre is also a mere 5 minute walk. You are however located next to the bar distract (Belmont Street) so it can get quite noisy on Saturday nights (especially since the window in our room faces the pubs). There is 24-hour concierge so you won't have to worry about drunk people wandering in after a night out. You're allowed to use the staff parking when you're moving in which means you can bring furniture etc. without having to worry about hauling it from across town. But otherwise Bon Accord (Harriet Street) Car Park is a few minutes away and it costs £95 a month per car.

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

I've not really raised any issues so far so can't really comment. I have noted that our room is too small for two people to live in but there isn't much that they can do if they haven't got a lot of one bedroom apartments available.

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

I don't think cooking in our studio is the easiest thing to do. I would have probably brought less cookery items if I knew I wouldn't be cooking much since there isn't much counter space, and after cooking you don't have a lot of space to clean and wash up. The only time when I'd cook a proper meal is when I'm in the club room, otherwise I tend to lean towards instant/microwave meals or deliveries.

Manager response

Hi Angelina, and thank you for sharing your experience at The Point. It’s fantastic to hear that Reuben’s tour and Phil’s warm welcome set the tone for your move-in, and that our mixology session was a hit. We love hosting events that bring residents together, so we’ll certainly look into adding more social evenings. Thanks again for the recommendation - it means a lot. If there’s anything else we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the team.

Fantastic location and modern apartments

Darren B (Tenant)

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

Very central location with lots of amenities close by. Discounted parking permits available for Harriet Street & Loch Street car parks, which are just few minutes walk away from the apartment. Despite being right next door to the busy night life of Belmont street, it is nice and quiet inside the apartments. There is traffic noise from Denburn and the railway line, but only noticeable when the apartment window is open,

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

Queries have been responded to very quickly and issues resolved in a timely manner.

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

The social events hosted on a regular basis. These are a great opportunity to meet other residents. The recent quiz night was very enjoyable, with snacks and drinks provided, and there were prizes available to the winning teams.

Manager response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback Darren, we’re delighted to hear how much you’re enjoying your studio and that the garden room’s views of Aberdeen are giving you that perfect chill-out spot. I’ll also be sure to pass on your shout-outs to Phil and Jamie - they will be so pleased to hear how much their friendly, helpful service means to you and that you're enjoying your home here at The Point.
