Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I lived on the 14th floor, where the surroundings were peaceful. The community here is vibrant and respectful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. A cafe just steps away adds to the convenience. The parking area is secure and reliable, offering peace of mind. Each floor also has a dedicated bin collection point, making waste disposal hassle-free. Parking availabile. Temple meads train station is 5 mins walking distance.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I've had a few issues during my time here, but the building management has always been on top of things. For example, when I had a problem with my closet's mirror door, the staff quickly arranged for an professional to come and fix it. Their prompt and efficient response really made a difference
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There's always something social happening, which really adds to the lively atmosphere and makes it easier to connect with neighbors.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Bedminster has so much creativity and so many things to do. You could never be bored! We are next to the airport bus stop, 20 minutes and you’re at Bristol ready to fly!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Communal gas not mains, makes it VERY expensive. Also City and Countey fail to recycle our waste.
What is the best feature of your home:
En suite bathroom as a whole! The gold fixtures and wet room are lovely.
