Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Lovely quiet location, even though it's on one of the main roads into Bath city centre. The development is within walking distance of the station and shopping area, but there are also regular buses into the centre and on to Bath's two universities. Secure parking places can be rented for an additional cost.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
These were usually resolved quickly, although we did have an ongoing minor issue with a heated towel rail!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything went pretty smoothly for us and I'd recommend Spring Wharf to anyone looking for a base in Bath.

It's fantastic there is everything you need within a short walk. I just hope there is some cleaning that will be done around the local area
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
There have been a few issues and only 1 of them was resolved quickly the others we are still waiting to hear back
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Bin locations, our neighbor is allowed to store their bins in front of our home and when it is hot as soon as you step outside our front door you can smell a horrible smell from them.
