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

Great are, lots of good bars and restaurants! Domo is great for food and Nono is perfect for a glass of wine.

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

We’ve only had to raise one issue in the past which was addressed quickly even though it wasn’t urgent.

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

The only thing that was inconvenient when we moved was the parking situation as there was an event on that we weren’t told about so we had very limited time to use the courtyard. We also weren’t aware of the community bills, so that’s another expense to bear in mind.
