Great for Short-to-medium Term Stays
The Good: the location is great, being close to the town centre and only a few minutes walk from the train station. The management and staff are generally very friendly and responsive. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which does good food. All bills included, which helps justify the price per month for rent. Easy and quick to get a room here.
The bad: noise levels can be a problem. Noise tends to carry extremely well through the ceilings, walls, and doors. This is probably the biggest issue for me personally. The art, decoration, and general appearance of the building, needs some work doing. There aren’t enough washing machines and dryers for the whole building. Hot water is sometimes intermittent.
Please review your development:
Overall I wanted to give 3 stars, because the noise levels have been an issue for me personally. The first month wasn’t too bad, but now there are new people in the rooms here, I can hear everything (and I mean everything) that the people say and do in the rooms beside me, above me, and across from me in the corridor. Peace and quiet is important to me personally but is something I rarely get here. This might be different for other people though, and some people may not even care.
That said, the other aspects of living here such as the location, ease of applying, friendliness and helpfulness of management and staff, plus having all bills included in the price, balance things out. If I had to stay here longer than I’m contracted, I’d struggle as I can’t relax here – but for a short-to-medium term stay, it’s perfect if you just need a place to quickly get yourself on your feet in the area! Hence the overall 4 stars review.

I would have liked to have known what it’s like to live here.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Usually quick enough to solve small issues (maintenance will visit within a week or two), but bigger ones will be looked at quicker.
