Cozy and Vibrant place to live in Aberdeen

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

Location : Cozy and Vibrant community in centre of the city, just 1 minute walk to Belmont street and 2 minutes walk to Union Street. Amenities : It has all amenities within - Gym room, Club room, Working hub, Laundry, TV lounge, Bin collection, and most importantly the Terrace Garden at 11th floor where you can view the entire city (the favourite one for all the residents). Front office : The front office staffs are much helpful carrying positive vibes, and special mention to the staff TALULA who is very friendly, welcoming and approachable. Made many friends after coming to this place !

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

Whenever there has been issues reported like WiFi connectivity, or Laundry Iron fault, the response has been immediate and issues were fixed in a day.

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

This was the first property that I visited, and visited other properties too, but never felt such a positive vibe that I got here.
