Good but a couple of things to keep in mind
Pro:
The neighborhood is close to the center. I can easily walk to Covent Garden in under 30 min. The connections are great – underground’s, trains and busses are accessible within 5 min of the location, making it great for people who’re spending time across the city. The yoga studio in the building is also great!
Con:
Traffic noise
Please review your development:
Pro:
Nice, fresh, smells nice, nice gym
Con:
I’ve had issues w my property that I’ve reported to management in dec (it’s now February) and they still havent been addressed. In my case, my bathroom smells so bad bc of drainage issues.
Another con is that they are marketing a room that you can rent for private events. It looks nice but costs 50 pounds per hour (?!) to rent. That is crazy
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You can’t head any neighbors, which is great considering how big the building is and how many people live there
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes but it takes a very long time for them to fix.
