Good experience, but not the best

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

The only supermarket that is close is Sainsbury's local and Nisa Local shop. To go to city center, it's quite far, considering you have to cross the highway. The road to the Anderston station at night is dark and covered with bushes, so it is quite scary to walk at night. Especially the Anderston station is located underneath the highway

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

Currently I have no problems with inquiries. The staff respond quite quickly.

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

I wish the location would not be beside the highway. It's too unsettling for pedestrians.

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

10 minute walk away from all different stores in city centre. 15 minute walk to Glasgow central and couple minutes away from Anderston station. Close to excitement but street peaceful. Parking is disappointing price however can get cheaper parking few streets away quite easily. Bin collection good and on regular basis.

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

Very quickly, nothing to much bother. Helpful when unsure about anything.

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

Wish I had looked at more apartments . We were offered to look at more however would be good to be up little higher but appreciate these may cost more.
