Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The building is close to the station with great links to the city centre. The choice of supermarkets could be better although there is a fairly big Lidl, it's just not my personal favourite. There are also nice sports facilities, like a tennis court and, a nice hot yoga studio nearby (all of these apart from a great onsite gym).
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Everything was dealt with timely and of great quality.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not something that affects me, but if you are a smoker, there is a no-smoke policy at any inside or outside areas of the building.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The good aspects include the amazing restaurants and gardens we have, the only slight issue is that the walk to the station is a solid 15 mins which could be considered a bit long.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The response is always quick and satisfactory, very helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything is good, I was positively surprised by the amenities and how well they are maintained.
