Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Elephant and castle is a quickly gentrifying area, which a good number of new restaurants and cafes. The new areas around elephant park are lovely, however you can quickly enter rough areas if you go the wrong way. Although, these rough areas are changing quickly too.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had taken more time to check for cosmetic damage before moving in, as I have a floor board with a chip that they won’t fix (they won’t fix anything after you move in).
What is the best feature of your home:
For a 2 bedroom flat, it is very reasonable priced.

Amazing community that keeps getting better with new small businesses. Neighbourhood seems very welcoming and overall various different nationalities and age groups form a new community and make the area a lovely pocket of London.

The management resolved the matter as quick as possible, very helpful, friendly and polite
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing bad to say, the best welcoming complementary move in gift pack received that was not expected was just such a lovely gesture
