Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good location, trains and busses close by. Lots of shops and restaurants near by and the city centre is a short 10 mins walk away.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We had few issues in the 3 years. We had a leak from upstairs that was resolved quickly by the maintenance team.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
High floors save you on electricity. You may pay more to be higher but you never need to put the heaters on!
