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

The central location and proximity to public transport is excellent. I am onl the 11th floor and the views are incredible.

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

I put in a request for a few maintenance items and Stephen showed up at my door on Wednesday. He resolved everything.

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

I wish I had known the the terraces would be closed for such a long period of time. It is especially annoying because it has been a great summer and I would have enjoyed the outdoor space.
