Author Benefits from an extremely sleek and attentive and professional/ experienced on site management team who are based at the building. The Front Desk / Concierge is the Hub for main resident and visitors. The front desk team correctly acts as interaction point and is manned by an extreme able , well trained and attentive personal . The level of of service by the team is exceptional ( to say the least) and the desk is covered 365/24/7 The core concierge team has two shift, well overlapped with seamless handover between the team members . The shifts are well managed where at “Rush hour “ ( 19:00-21:00) the night concierge and one of the day concierge are there together supporting each other . It is a pleasure to watch and well thought through . The team members act with integrity and inteligence and with sensible empowerment. The concierge team members ,during the day , Nelson ( who has been in the building since its opening and so familiar with everything ! ) , Afrah (with her charm and willingness ) Sergei ( a very experienced hotel concierge) and Cosmin ( with Natural calmness and assistance )are diversified and have complimentary skills between them working in harmony and efficiency sometimes at an extremely difficult situations . Absolutely superb and hard working team - each with their own strength who try best to work in harmony together Thank you The night shift run By Antony ( who has been in the building from he outset )and Edson who has recently joined and looks very promising . Night time management ( especially during the weekends ) can be extreme difficult but both Antony and now Edson ( makes the building feels extremely secure together with dealing with their other duties . I have seen Antony deals with most difficult situations during the night with stride which is commendable . Edson is a new addition to the team and looks very promising . The on-site management is making sure that if additional cover is needed when one of the core front desk team is away , it is always supervised by an existing experienced other team member. It is important to note that the common parts ( internally nd externally ) are well maintained and the house keeping internal team is extremely pleasant & managed well .

I really like living in this area , there are plenty of nice places to eat and grab a coffee, plus good shops nearby for everyday stuff. The transport links are solid, with buses and trains not far away, so it’s easy to get around. It’s generally quiet and feels safe, and my street doesn’t get too noisy. Parking can be a bit of a pain sometimes, but it’s manageable.
