Fabulous Sessile Apartments

Adele (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Sessile, N17

Aug 2026

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

Transport links are excellent and I always felt very safe coming hoke late on the tube line. The park next to the Sessile is an excellent open space , very friendly with a community feel. My apartment looked inwards over the lovely garden on floor one so I was not really aware of traffic noise or any other noise. And lovely to hear life going on around the Sessile-certainly not anti-social behaviour. Loved Little Coco at the Gessner and Mother Kelly's. Hopefully a few eating places will open soon.

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

Always. Quick response, problem sorted. Totally trustworthy team if entry is needed without myself being present.

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

The friendliness and general kindness of residents. WhatsApp groups.

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

Relatively quiet given York Rd and railway nearby. Convenient access to Coal Drops Yard and KX. A shame the area under the rail bridge is so badly littered all the time

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

Front desk very helpful and all staff friendly, including cleaners

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

I know the area well, so no surprises, but for those who don't the relative quiet bit with easy access to the bustle of Coal Drops Yard

Manager response

Dear JonB, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the building's spacious and comfortable environment, the gym facilities, garden design, and lounge amenities. It's especially rewarding to hear your kind words about Sergeys and the rest of our team. We'll be sure to pass on your compliments to him, our front desk colleagues, and our cleaning team. Kind regards, Darek

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

The location, particularly of the 390 bus stop was essential to our commute, and its convenient location in front of the building was perfect. Lastly, the proximity to a park and shopping made the stay that much more pleasant.

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

Yes, the maintenance responded quickly when our air conditioning had issues.

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

I wish I had known about the expensive parking cost.

Manager response

Thank you, Zach! We're delighted to hear that you, your wife, and your dogs had such a positive experience with us. We'll be sure to share your kind words with our front desk and maintenance teams. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards, Darek

Friendly and helpful management

Zenith House, N15

Jul 2026

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

The area is very nice, we have had delays with the council in collecting bins but the building management were very helpful in resolving this. The streets are very active so its good to be mindful walking at night like most other urban areas. Its not too far from Hotspurs stadium so the nighbourhood can feel a bit overrun on matchdays, but its usually an okay vibe despite the crowd.

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

Yes all of them! They are very responsive snd friendly.

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

Just wish that it was priced more to reflect how many young tenants there are, and that mailroom was more secure.

Feeling at home in Vantage Point

Sophie Sam (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Vantage Point, N19

Jul 2026

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

Great range of shops, restaurants and very quick access to the tube (under 1 min). Anti social behaviour and traffic is a small problem in the area as Archway does have a lot of homelessness - but the building itself is very safe, with overnight security and right next to transport links so you don’t have to walk far in the dark. It’s also very well lit so we have never found the surrounding area an issue.

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

Problems are always sorted with speed and efficiency. The only small issue is when the lifts break down (this is fairly often) but there are 3 lifts and one or two of them is still working

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

There’s nothing to share here. The viewing is fairly transparent
