I am staying in Merlin Wharf from last one year and and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. The day I moved in, I was impressed by the ambience, amenities, and the overall atmosphere of the community. The Merlin Wharf apartment is close to City Center, Londis, Tesco Super store, St Margaret's bus station, Abbey park, Castle garden, DMU Leisure center all very nearby (10 mins by walk). So many restaurants nearby by, a very happening place.
