Management is extremely responsive in resolving queries that we may have.

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

Mustard wharf is in the perfect location in my opinion! Great local pubs/bars/restaurants all within 5 minutes walk and right next to the train station it’s easy to get in and out of Leeds for friends and family and although so close you can’t hear any of the trains from the apartments! Tesco express for last minute groceries being 5 minutes away is really handy and bake making the best pastries is a highlight!

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

We haven’t really had any issues with living here just a small leaky tap which was resolved almost as soon as we notified it as an issue. Very efficient and helpful!

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

Cross keys pub behind mustard wharf does a great pub quiz on a Thursday and make you feel like a regular instantly! Everyone in this area I have come across has been really friendly!
