Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location is probably one of the best I got to live. Lots of great places to grab a coffee, drink or just walk around. Transport links are perfect too, everything at your doorstep quite literally. It is also very quiet and peaceful, yet everything you need is within a walking distance. Overall, very pleased!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always super helpful with all the questions I had and very quick to respond too.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It honestly exceeded all my expectations! I would highly recommend it to anyone
Manager response
