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

The location is quiet yet very close to a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. Easily accessible to city centre , subway, trains and buses.

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

They have been proactive always helpful and pleasant

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

Perhaps that there would be so many students. We thought it would be a more balanced mix of ages, lifestyle and life stages / family as it is not marketed as a student accommodation as such. It doesn’t bother us but I would have liked to have known that.

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

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else! The 7th floor is complete luxury & we love to hang out with friends there. The bin chutes don't always work, however that seems to be down to resident misuse.

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

We haven't had any issues so far, however I know the maintenance team( word of mouth) are very good & prompt. Always smiling, even though they are very busy.

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

I would recommend new residents to make the most of the great facilities. I don't have much time to use them myself, but they are excellent and really add to the experience.

I haven't had any issues moving in or the apartment yet. All has been great

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

Location is quiet & noisy as in Sauchiehall Street

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

Been here a month and it’s been Amazing! The place has been so well kept and the staff are so lovely. It’s so close to everything, it’s all on your doorstep. If you have a car you can also park it in the private car park. You don’t hear any noise really so it’s nice and quiet and the reception makes sure it’s always safe.

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

Nothing in particular but any small questions or queries we have had, we have had answered quickly

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

The only thing is that I can get warm quickly in the flats if your windows aren’t open
