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

Voice transcription: It's a great area in a quiet part of leed City center I never had any problems with antisocial behavior noise or saw anything worrying in the area. Traffic noise is also minimal since it's off the main road. I had no problems with noise from residents either. Overall, it's safe, quiet, and just far enough from the noise of the city center, but everything is still very accessible. There is a sainsbury's local opposite the building for when you forget milk or cooperative near the bus station. There's bigger sainsbury's on the headrow Aldi regent Street or morrisons merrion center for your weekly shop. I've also seen many people have their shop delivered if that suits you better. Being in the city center, a lot of the popular bars and restaurants are within walking distance. Very close by is the wardrobe, Sarto and rambutry. Transport Links are great with the bus station and train station within walking distance. On street council parking is available nearby for when you have visitors, but it is highly competitive on weekends. They have a parking facility underneath of course subject to availability. There's also plenty of car sharing options nearby through Enterprise car Club.

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

I cannot fault building management I remain impressed by the speed of the responses to issues I've raised, for example with maintenance and tenancy queries.

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

I can't really think of many faults for the place Great Central place to live with a decent price

Effectiveness was definitely there , when i need something the receptionist charlotte would be rapid with response to inform the management about a concern or issue .

I wish there would be more outdoor activities on terrace something similar to moda in Manchester as the football pitch that would be absolutely nice

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

Tower Works is located a short walk to everything. I love having things on my door step. 92 degrees is the perfect place for a morning coffee and Salts Bar is great on an evening, especially in the Summer when you can sit out on the lock, The street is quiet, we are not disturbed by noise considering it is so central. There is an onsite car park but I choose to park locally to save money.

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

Maintenance are always very quick to respond and any issues I have had during my time here have been dealt with quickly.

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

You do not need to upgrade your internet, as I did look into this however the standard that comes with the apartment is super fast!
