Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Honestly, after living here for a year, it's hard to pinpoint anything truly negative. However, a recent issue has emerged: the reception desk is frequently unstaffed, a trend that started in the last month or two. This has raised some concerns about the building's security, particularly when I leave for university at 8 AM and there's no one at the front desk, not even a security guard. Furthermore, the access door leading to the elevator hallway hasn't required a key for about six months due to a broken card reader. While this might be intentional, it contributes to my growing safety worries. However, I believe that the management team, with their highly efficient approach, will address these issues and make improvements after I've brought them to their attention.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team here is incredibly efficient, especially Charlotte. She's a young, vibrant woman with a very flexible working style; I can reach her via email or WhatsApp. Even though she's the listing manager, she never acts superior. Instead, she's always smiling and has the most approachable demeanor, making her the most willing to engage with residents. Both Charlotte and Molly were a huge help during my recent move from the 22nd to the 23rd floor; their seamless coordination made the whole process incredibly smooth.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I have no idea where this question. Because I am very familiar with this building because my friend is living here as well!
