Fantastic building with an amazing management team. The facilities are excellent, with 24/7 security, a concierge service, a gym, and fully furnished communal lounges and TV rooms available to residents free of charge. The management team is always on hand to help with anything, no matter how big or small. Everyone is incredibly supportive, friendly and helpful. In particular, Kasia has been fantastic. She’s always happy to help with any problems I have and consistently goes out of her way to get things resolved quickly and efficiently.

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

Local area is amazing. Only 10 mins walk from the train station, and a good selection of restaurants and cafes nearby. Good options for supermarkets too, and very convenient for workplaces being so close to Wellington Place.

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

Any issues are uploaded onto an online system and quickly resolved, very easy and straightforward.

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

One thing I hadn’t fully appreciated before moving in was just how useful the communal facilities would be. Having access to a gym, comfortable lounges and communal spaces really adds to the experience of living here. I’d definitely recommend making the most of everything the building has to offer, as there’s much more to it than just the apartment itself.

I absolutely love living here. It’s so quiet and peaceful. The onsite staff are so, so friendly, genuinely cannot fault them. Any minor issues we have had have been dealt with very quickly. The events hosted are great fun - Kourtney is an absolute star! It’s great to be able to meet other residents. The apartment itself is flawless, modern and has everything we need. There are many communal areas which are all pristinely clean and great for working from home if you need a change of scenery. The only issue we’ve had has been with the actual management, we had a nightmare getting the paperwork signed before we actually moved in and the process was really badly organised. Since we moved in though we have had absolutely no issues and the onsite team were supportive and helpful throughout the issues we had. We definitely made the right choice living here, it’s a lovely place and I can definitely recommend.

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

Very peaceful area that’s quiet and convenient for commuting and is close to many amenities. The only thing that’s a little annoying is it’s tricky to get to any major supermarkets.

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

Any issues have been dealt with promptly and easily. It’s great that there are staff onsite all the time to help with any issues.

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

How quiet it is - we thought the trains might be a bit noisy but it’s not a problem, more just background noise. And we honestly wouldn’t know we have neighbours at all!

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

That the building has an onsite gym which is free of charge to use.

We’re absolutely loving our apartment! The cleanliness, facilities and overall design are all fantastic, and we’ve been so impressed with the experience so far. The staff have been incredibly helpful and welcoming, particularly Maisie, who gave us a brilliant tour and clearly explained everything we needed to know about bills on our first day. She’s also been super responsive and quick to help with any questions we’ve had since moving in, which has made settling in so much easier. A huge thank you to Maisie for all her help and for making our experience such a positive one!

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

Good aspects: the apartment space and facilities, the staff especially Maisie, the cleanliness. Bad aspects: have not spotted any so far!

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

They have been super helpful and quick to respond!

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

The council tax rates, but we have sorted this now!
