A guide to living in Aberdeen

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

Living at The Point in Aberdeen has been great. Shops, cafes and Union Square are close by, and transport links are very handy with buses and trains nearby. The street feels safe, bins are collected on time, and it’s a calm and comfortable place to live.

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

Building management has always responded quickly and professionally to any issues. A special thanks to Phil Dennett, Senior Resident Services Associate for his professionalism, excellent communication skills, and willingness to help with any question. I truly feel very welcome here because of him.

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

I didn't realise how peaceful the area would feel once living here, even though it’s so close to the city centre. It’s much quieter and more relaxing than I first expected from just a viewing.

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.
