Peaceful Home with Great Facilities

April S (Tenant)

Holland Park, G2

Dec 2025

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

The best part of living here is how easy it is to get around. Transport links are very convenient, and it’s simple to get buses to most places. The local area feels friendly too; people are helpful, and staff like Amy have supported me when I needed assistance. I haven’t experienced any antisocial behaviour since moving in, and the neighbourhood has been peaceful and calm. Overall, the environment feels nice and comfortable,

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

The management team has been very responsive. I’ve had a couple of issues and each time they helped quickly. For example, when my payment wasn’t going through, I went downstairs to speak with Amy. She explained the steps clearly and helped me contact Paul to get my reference number. Josh also fixed my heater really fast. Overall, they’ve been helpful and efficient whenever I needed support.

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

I wish I had known earlier that my apartment number can’t be found on the council website. And honestly, I also wish I had discovered this place sooner. Nothing bad to say.

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

The location is perfect, it never lets you down for food and drink options, there are so many. Weekly shops are made easy with a supermarkets very near. All the main Glasgow train stations are a very reasonable walk away, with busses passing constantly. The windows and walls are very soundproof, often forgot I live in the busy city centre.

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

Response was very quick and communication was great regarding any ongoing issues

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

How long the background checks take, was nearly off putting due to the third party letting agency.

Dec 2025

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

The management are very responsive and the building staff are always approachable especially the managers Connor & Susan. The design is brand new you can tell they went all out with the facilities and interior of the building. I’m very happy to live here Brand new From the reservation team to the reception team and management, everything has been top tier. When I want to wind down in the evening, I often grab a coffee and play pool in one of the two amenity spaces. There’s always someone to talk to or play pool with. My apartment felt brand new, not a mark on the walls. The team look after me and all of my family when they visit. Scott, Amrit, Calvin, Sian and Kerry are like friends

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

The managment have responded quickly to all issues i raise.

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

The street is gated with secure entry at each end of the street. The staff are available 247 no issue is to big or small.
