Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
West Street is one of Sheffield city centre’s main social hubs, especially for food and nightlife. It’s packed with bars, pubs and restaurants — from casual BBQ and Japanese eats to cocktail bars and traditional pubs, meaning lots of options within a short walk West Street’s central city-centre location means excellent transport links Exceptionally convenient: shops, pubs, restaurants, transport, and city centre amenities on your doorstep. Within walking distance of theatres, galleries, universities and shopping areas.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I have had fewer than 3 repairs needed in 18 months and all repairs were done swiftly and professionally.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If your are interested in a hobby or club, the James does fantastic job to allow and provide for clubs or interests that the residents may have.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There are plenty of restaurants and bars in a close walking distance so there is always a nice atmosphere on a weekend in those areas. The courtyard in Tower Works is also such a nice open space with the canal on our doorstep and the train station a 5 minute walk away. Although the accommodation is a stones throw from the centre of Leeds, it has a nice calm feeling to it.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have always been very quick to try and rectify any issues I have experienced and in the event it is not a quick fix, have kept me updated on its progression.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The freedom to do what you want! Not many apartment complexes allow you to paint walls or hang TVs or picture frames on the walls etc but MW @ Tower Works do and it’s such a nice added touch to make the space feel more personal to yourself and homelike.

Bang you got Tesco next door, all your groceries toiletries anything you need on the day to day, if you’re looking to pig out you got the Korean store right outside one of the main entrances to the building on rockingham street (get the mango cake) you walk up its division street- you got urban kebab (get the big daddy meal) and cha time (get the passion fruit slush) walk along left instead of right and you’ve got ohannes burgers (it’s worth the money) and it’s right next to the Taco Bell at the end of the street- if you’re into sports opposite that you’ve got the common room (Super Bowl Sunday see me there) for all entertainment purposes- BUT they don’t have a ping pong table, if you walk down instead of up there’s the new Pandora- do NOT go there with your girlfriend I got scammed- the light cinema is even closer (going to watch “send help” tonight, it’s got Dylan O’Brien i think too 5 films this year) AVOID popeyes it’s all oil and if you’ve got bad taste there’s a Nando’s in the moor walk for you too

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We decided to replace the sofa with one that was more comfortable. The sofa that came with the apartment was easy to flat-pack and store within the apartment.
