A guide to living in Yorkshire and the Humber

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living on West Street as a student is so brilliantly convenient, I am always close to campus, the centre and the socials! We're spoilt for choice with transport stops, and there's a Tescos just two buildings down as well as a choice of many other shops, bars and restaurants. The only issue is with being so close to the clubs and tram stops it is possible to hear the music/tram horns however this is not as prominent as one might think.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

There hasn't been many issues to report to be honest but when I first moved in I did need some assistance with using the electrics, and Clive came by and very patiently explained everything to me.

One thing you do not get to realise in a viewing because you're only in the room for such a short time is that it heats up very quickly, I would seriously recommend bringing a fan with you for the summer months.

The James apartment is in the city centre. Local shops, restaurants, bars are all within walking distance. Tesco shop is the next door and there are nearby sushi restaurants, Nandos, Chinese hotpot and noodles restaurants. It’s very close to tram stations and it will take 15 mins on foot to train station. The street outside is clean, wide and full of greenery. The apartment offers a separate room for bin collection. With its noise-proof window, it’s quiet inside the room. We really enjoy the luxury studio living experience.

Every issue has been solved in the next working day. The staff are very kind and helpful. They always replied to my message promptly. Appreciate a lot!!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It will take 15 mins on foot from train station to the apartment. The road sometimes can be steep. If you carry heavy luggages, it will be better to take a tram or taxi to arrive here.

The amenities are great, there is a Tesco and a Japanese shop directly downstairs. The local area also has loads of good coffee, shops, pubs and restaurants. The only downside it is a bit hilly but that is Sheffield in general.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The new team of James, Leona and Emily have been top class. You never feel like a burden, they always want to help and if they can they will get on it straight away but if not the Ly will communicate that with you and let you know when they are able to resolve them.

I wish I had known that to go to a local park for dog walks was going to be a 15 minute walk but it’s ok as he is a small dog.

Living here has been a great experience — comfortable, convenient, and full of character. Everything you need is right nearby: great restaurants, bars, and our favourite bakery (Bake!). We’ve loved jogging along the canal, spotting river barges and local wildlife — such a nice way to unwind. The building itself is really well set up. There’s a gym with modern equipment, co-working spaces, and even a photocopying service at reception, which has come in handy. We moved back to the UK after several years in Spain and needed a temporary base. These apartments were perfect — quiet, well-equipped, and ready to go. We moved in with just suitcases and bedding and felt at home straight away.

A real highlight has been the team here. Ellen and the staff are incredibly responsive and helpful — any issues (like a faulty window catch) were sorted out quickly and efficiently.
