Stylish and warm development in heart of Stratford

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area has plenty to do and is in an extremely convenient location, right outside Westfield and a one-minute walk from Stratford International DLR station. With the windows closed, you barely notice the traffic noise. It gives you a city-living feel without sitting on a busy road, and the surrounding neighbourhood still feels residential. Best of both worlds
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Maintenance requests are dealt with promptly and easily requested through the residents portal. Third party contractors take a little longer especially if specific parts need to be ordered.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The leasing process can be a bit confusing and slow, so it's worth allowing extra time and following up each step with the leasing team.
