Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
A very convenient location, only a short walk from Guildford train station and a 10-minute walk to the High Street. Situated in a central location yet on a peaceful street, it’s an ideal choice for regular train users and perfect for hosting family and friends visiting from abroad, as London is easily accessible.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management usually respond via email to schedule a time to send someone to have a look and fix the issue.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Reception that receives orders during normal working hours, and very helpful staff.

The location is perfect; very accessible to the town centre and to the train station. The street is never too busy either, so no noise issues with neighbours. A great area.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
When I reported an issue with one of the sockets in my room on arrival it was handled very professionally and quickly rectified.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I’d known how great the facilities really were, it’s such a blessing having everything so easily accessible.
