Yeah not bad. Decent building with amenities. Brand new and fresh so a nice place to live especially in the city. Given it’s a new build it is very nice. I won’t lie building/property management like reception can be a bit better they don’t really know 100% what is going on half the time and different people say different queries but they are all nice friendly and willing to help regardless.

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

Located in the city centre so loads of places accessible. Range of shops, restaurants, next to public transport. Next to train station so is really loud but that is a given.

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

Needed shower fixed and they did it immediately which was nice.

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

How loud the trains were going to be. Wish there was a bit more soundproofing with that aspect.
