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

The local area is very convenient, with a good selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and open spaces within easy reach. Public transport links are generally very good, making it easy to get around without relying on a car. The street itself is relatively quiet and pleasant, although parking can sometimes be limited, particularly at busier times. Bin collections are generally reliable and there are no major issues with noise or anti-social behaviour. Overall, it is a convenient and enjoyable area to live in, with most everyday amenities close by.

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

Easy and fast, evey complaint taken seriously, would recommend.

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

Nothing really, exceeded my expections by far. Best BTR I lived in, ever.

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

It has been a very pleasant experience, no anti-social behaviour, next to several big supermarkets, fairly close to the West-End of Glasgow, nice restaurants and bars in the area and public transport is accessible (10min walk to the Underground). I think it was good!

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

The reporting system is fairly smooth, and the few times I had to report something (actually the only time I did) they fixed the issue within a day, and it was not even an urgent request. So 10/10!

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

The thing I would share is that at the end you don't really know your neighbourhood until you have moved in. Once you move in you discover whether the location is actually convenient or not. For me it was very convenient given the accesibility to work, but for others it might be a bit out of the way. Depends on your preferences!

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

A quick walk from Partick bus and train station. Parking can be tricky but underground parking available for a monthly fee.

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

Yes, I had a few issues with simple maintenance and they were addressed quickly

The council tax banding is pricey! A 1 bed apartment is valued at Band E.
