My experience so far at Fizzy East 16 has been excellent

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

The local area is excellent to live it, it feels safer relative to the rest of London. There are cafes and coffee shops nearby and two large supermarkets within easy walking distance. The transport links are excellent to the city centre, Stratford and elsewhere.

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

The landlord has responded to queries and issues, they have responded to these in good time. Having lived elsewhere the quick replies are appreciated!

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

The area's reputation online makes the area seem much worse than it actually is. The area feels much nicer than many other parts of London.

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

The building management has been very responsive and professional whenever I’ve reported an issue. Recent maintenance requests were handled promptly, and the communication throughout the process was clear and efficient. Rad and Valentina both provided excellent service, resolving the problems thoroughly and ensuring everything was completed to a high standard.

It’s reassuring to know that management takes resident concerns seriously and acts quickly to resolve them.

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

I wish I had known more about the parking situation before moving in, as spaces can be limited at certain times. Other than that, everything about the area and development is great. There are many friendly communities around, and everything is conveniently located — shops, the Tube station, and bus stops are all nearby, making it a very comfortable and accessible place to live.

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

Very convenient and safe, although i dont like the difficulty of having a drop off closer to theproperty as it doesn't feel so safe late at night when I'm dropped off away from the building.

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

The Lift Problem and main door problem took forever to repair! Other than that everything is managed well.

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

1.Lack of AC (Agent shouldn't have lied!) 2. Noise from the train and sainsbury's delivery truck at 6am! (This is the biggest problem) 3. That the gym requires an asessment that costs money! (i know its small amount but just feels sneaky)
