A guide to living in North West London

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

Location is incredible - it's right next to the Finchley Road Tube station, and opposite a large Waitrose. There's also: * Pret A Manger about 20 seconds away * Japanese grocer about 2 minutes away (Natural Natural Finchley Road) * Boots about 5 minutes away * A small corner shop for Sunday nights when Waitrose is closed The only cons are a) it's next to quite a busy road (though I never had trouble with noise in the apartment itself), and b) there are often a couple of homeless folks around the Tube station asking for money (though I never felt unsafe). Overall, absolutely fantastic.

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

Very well! I think there were ~3 times something broke and I reported it, and every time it was fixed either the same day or the next.

Nothing in particular comes to mind. The only small thing was the nearby Japanese grocer, Natural Natural Finchley Road, which it took me a little while to discover, and which is lovely.
