The management team is the best , especially Salman. I feel very welcome since I moved in and they have been very supportive. Down side I would say there is always a delay for maintenance team to come. Facilities is always broken. Ventilation system is poor. My room constamtlt smells bad.

Good but could’ve been better if they could reply to Phone call or email during weekdays working hours quicker.

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

I wish I knew the council taxes not included as in advertisement is a little bit misleading
