Promptly, and have helped organise any repairs with ease

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Stratford is generally a very good area to live in. It has excellent transport links with several underground and rail lines. Our favourite is the Elizabeth Line - it is new, comfortable and, in our opinion, the cleanest. There is also a large shopping centre nearby with a wide variety of shops, so everything you might need is close at hand. The area itself is divided into New Stratford and Old Stratford. We live in New Stratford and feel very comfortable and safe here. Old Stratford feels more mixed and sometimes less safe, but overall our experience living here has been very positive.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We had a great experience with the maintenance staff during our move-in, especially Val. He was extremely helpful and quickly resolved all minor issues we noticed when entering the new apartment. He also assisted us with the equipment and made sure everything was working properly. Val was very fast, professional, polite, and well-organized. All our questions and requests were handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. We truly appreciate his support - the entire process was smooth and stress-free thanks to his excellent work.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Overall, the viewing process was clear and we felt that everything was explained well before we moved in. One thing that would have been helpful to know in advance is that if you want to book certain shared spaces or private rooms within the building, this comes at an additional cost. At the same time, all common areas provided by the building are free to use, which is great. Another small practical point is storage: the wardrobe is quite spacious, but it is not internally organised, so you may need to buy additional shelves or organisers. This is not a major issue, but it was a bit challenging at the beginning, as we moved in with four suitcases and organising a completely empty wardrobe took some time.

N/A Nothing particular comes to mind. As more People have moved in, the gym is gettin more difficult to access, but that was to be expected
Manager response
Thank you very much for your thoughtful and positive feedback. It’s genuinely appreciated, and I’m delighted to hear that your experience with the building and the team has been such a good one. Your kind words about Daisy, Tom, myself, and the wider team mean a great deal. We always aim to be approachable, responsive, and proactive, so it’s reassuring to know that this has been reflected in how your queries and requests have been handled. Going the extra mile for our residents is something we truly care about. I’m also really pleased you’ve enjoyed the seasonal touches in the lobby. These small details are intended to create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, so it’s lovely to know they’ve had a positive impact. Thank you as well for sharing your thoughts on the location and amenities. The convenience of Aldgate and Aldgate East, along with nearby shops and services, is certainly a key benefit of the area. We appreciate your understanding regarding the increased use of the gym as the building becomes busier. Your feedback is noted, and we continue to monitor usage to ensure the space remains as comfortable and functional as possible for everyone. It’s great to hear that the few minor issues you’ve experienced were resolved quickly and efficiently, and we truly value your recommendation of the landlord. Should you ever need anything further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I’m always happy to help.
