Very close to main city centre and also big super markets. Close to bus routes. How the street is near antisocial street. Bin store is very convenient. Some litter on street but expected in city.

Very quick to respond and friendly yet professional.

If windows don’t open then mould is an issue but get a dehumidifier

Great luxury apartments in an accessible location

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very accessible to grocery shops and convenience stores, including the moor market. Multiple bus stops very close, all between 4-10 min walks. Accessibility to Sheffield station is probably the best thing about the location. Some anti social/ traffic noise can be heard but not as often and frequently as one would expect.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Complains are fixed very quickly which is great. Eg loose drawers and blocked drainage were fixed the same day.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The social events are actually a great pro, more than I expected. The ease of booking private dining room and in house gym has been way more useful and elevated the living experience than I thought it would. The storage space in the apartments is a bit small, including the small kitchen counter space, something I would’ve thought before selecting a 1 bed vs 2bed.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It's in city centre and convenient to everything like markets, bus stop, train station and tram station. This place is well connected to all the needs.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Everything thing is well maintained and prioritize the issues and resolves them.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the storage space is more limited than it appears during a typical viewing. Closets and cabinets look adequate at first, but once you settle in, you may find there isn’t as much room as expected. I’d suggest new neighbors plan ahead with extra storage solutions or organizers to make the most of the available space.
