In general, I like the place and everything about it, but the only issue is I’m not used to small rooms which is very common in the UK but these rooms are quite spacious.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Where I live is very nice and convenient because there is a small market next to it and then only 8 to 10 minutes away. There is restaurant bars and other nightlife activities. there is parking available in the basement and there is a rubbish bin that is located in the ground floor and also the same company does meet ups for the tenants every week.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, I contacted them in the beginning because the room was not very clean and the dishwasher was dirty. The next day they have sent me the home cleaner to clean everything again.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I knew everything that I was getting into before I move in, so therefore there is nothing that I wanted to know

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very good lots of local shops bars and restaurants are around. Parking can be hit or miss but overall a really good location.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Raised the issue of missing gym equipment and have been told they will look into it. No further updates.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The building is not really in a state for occupancy at the moment - it feels a very rushed process. I feel if they had a few more months to prep things would have gone alot smoother.
