Considering the price and location, I think it offers good value for money. There aren’t many restaurants or shops within the immediate area, but having the train and tram station directly opposite is a major advantage. It makes commuting and travelling to other areas very convenient. Overall, the transport links make up for the limited local amenities.

The building management team has been responsive whenever I’ve raised an issue. They acknowledge the problem and aim to resolve it around three working days. For example, when I noticed that I hadn’t received the inventory PDF, they took note of it and arranged to follow up.
