Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very convenient location - the building is situated a 10 minute walk from the city centre and is close to lots of different bus routes. Quick walk to the large supermarket too!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have responded very quickly and are happy to help with any issues that we have had.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It would have been useful to know that the building uses a district heating scheme, as this has worked out a little more expensive for us.
