Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It's amazing. In terms of this survey for what can be improved... nothing. It's not in the most nicest historical part of Bath which is no fault of anyone working here. Beyond that it's amazing. Great building. Nice furniture and appliances. The staff are amazing! Giving dog gifts, planning and hosting events. Love it.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
So far no problems but they answer questions and respond immediately.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing. I knew everything before moving in. All was explained and shown to us prior to moving in
