Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is very convenient to live in. There is a good range of shops within walking distance, as well as several nice green spaces nearby for walks. The street itself is generally quiet and feels safe. Bin collections are regular and well organised, and we have not experienced any anti-social behaviour. Overall it is a comfortable and well-connected neighbourhood to live in.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has always responded quickly and professionally to any questions or small issues we raised. Communication has been easy and friendly, and problems were resolved without delays.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Honestly there were no major surprises after moving in. The experience has been very consistent with what we expected from the viewing and communication beforehand.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The building is within a walking distance from many restaurants and shops, public transport links. A full size grocery store is missing, it’d be nice to have one in ~10 minutes walking radius.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Most of our problems were solved fast, but an emergency maintenance on Sunday couldn’t be addressed. Moreover, our neighbors always fight and the management never acknowledged oor complaints.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That there are no proper supermarkets around is the biggest problem.
